Excerpt from The Art of Painting in Oil and in Fresco: Being a History of the Various Processes and Materials Employed The precepts which the author has collected, extended, and developed, with the judicious advice he has offered, are not so much intended to teach this art, as to lay before the artist, the proper mate rials for painting, and how to make pictures durable. A principal object has been to collect and carefully describe the numerous processes used in oil paint ing, from its earliest appearance to our own time. The result of this investigation shows that the older masters of the Venetian and Flemish schools, did not paint as modems do, with pure Oils, but that they tempered their colours with varnishes; to which must be attributed the state of preservation in which we find their pictures. M. Merimee describes the modes Of preparing the different varnishes that are proper to mix with the colours, and also those which are to be used over the picture when finished. He also communi cates the most exact ideas upon the colouring sub stances, their preparation, solidity or durableness.

Excerpt from The Science of Painting Oil painting began in the fifteenth century. We are not here going to enter into that great discussion, which is not yet finished, as to whether Oil painting was really discovered by Van Eyck, but perhaps we may venture to say that its discovery was really caused by a mistake. In the first place, neither John Van Eyck nor his brother ever acquainted anybody with their processes, and their secrets died with them and if report is to be credited, they were even so jealous that they stabbed one prying individual who ventured into their studio. In vain distinguished artists, attracted by the fame Of the two brothers, came from Italy to Bruges they could learn nothing, except that the belief spread that Van Eyck owed the exceeding brilliancy Of his colours to the use Of Oil.
