A guide to methods of painting written in 15th century Florence. Embodying the secrets and techniques of the great masters.
While rummaging around an antiquated bookstore, I discovered a 1933 edition of The Craftsmans Handbook. A translation by Yale professor Daniel Thompson. He taught a course in egg tempera painting, sparking an American revival of tempera painting among artists such as Andrew Wyeth, Robert Vickery, Peter Hurd and a few other notable artists.
I was astounded by the wealth of painting knowledge enclosed in this book.
