Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. The Alchemy of Paint examines pre-modern artists recipes for a handful of pigments, including lapis lazuli, gold and vermilion. It has become a widely-used text in the undergraduate and postgraduate teaching of the history of ideas, medieval art history and the history of science.Historic pigment recipes many of which were reconstructed by the author provide evidence that practicing craftspeople had a detailed grasp of the sophisticated physical and cosmological theories that defined reality in pre-modern Europe. As such, the book is an in-depth, and heavily-referenced, primer for the pre-modern European world-view. For example, the chapter on the purification of lapis lazuli to make ultramarine is a practical example of how so-called Aristotelian four-element theory helped people engage productively with the material world.The first half of the book shows how theories like the four elements, hylomorphism, emanation, etc were reflected in practice in recipes that worked, as well as in recipes that did not work like dragonsblood and mercury blue but were nonetheless faithfully repeated. The second half of the book revisits materials including vermilion and gold to show that widely-recognised multi-levelled meanings were inherent in materials. Physical materials could therefore contribute metaphysical meanings to the mainly religious objects that incorporated them. A fascinating look at how pigments were created, used, and revered in the Middle Ages.
