Methods & Materials Of Painting of the Great Schools and Masters

by Sir Charles Lock Eastlake

The author of this invaluable treasury, a former president of the British Royal Academy and director of London's National Gallery, was one of the world's foremost experts on the techniques of painting. A painter of considerable renown himself, he devoted years to collecting rare manuscripts that would yield up technical secrets of the great painters of the past. In this work (two volumes bound in one) he offers detailed discussions of Greek and Roman art methods, medieval techniques, tempera painting, the revolutionary use of oil paints by Hubert van Eyck, Flemish methods of preparing colors, methods of l8th-century British artists, including Joshua Reynolds, and more. In the second volume, Eastlake focuses on the technical secrets of members of various Italian schools, including such masters as Leonardo, Raphael, Correggio, Andrea del Sarto, and many others. Students, painters, art historians, and any lover of fine art will find Eastlake's work invaluable, for both its source material and its comprehensive coverage of the technical evolution of painting.
