Techniques of Painting and Gilding in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Italy examines both the historical and contemporary methodologies of painting and gilding, along with the theological meanings of sacred art in the tradition of egg tempera painting and decorative gilding on wood panel. Cennino Cennini’s seminal text, Il Libro dell’Arte, written in late-fourteenth century Florence, provides a starting point for an exploration of workshop techniques and material, through the lens of contemporary artistic practice and workshop techniques.

Techniques of Painting and Gilding in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Art utilises author Ursula Betka’s (Ph.D., B. Ed.) extensive artistic and practical experience, alongside more than 20 years’ in leading a sacred arts workshop. Accompanied throughout with detailed photographic records of materials and processes, along with beautifully reproduced late Medieval and early Renaissance artwork, Techniques of Painting and Gilding in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Art is a welcome addition for any budding artist or connoisseur.
