Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Painting: In Three Parts; Consisting of Hints on Composition, Chiaroscuro, and Colouring; The Whole Illustrated by Examples From the Italian, Venetian, Flemish and Dutch Schools The Plates hereto annexed were originally intended to illustrate the first part Of a Practical Essay on Painting, which I have long had in contemplation to publish; 'but have delayed, from year to year, from its interruption to my professional engagements, from doubts respecting its utility, and a love Of ease which, after the day's employment, suggests a more natural recreation than the investigation of an abstruse study: I now publish the plates with a few loose hints thrown together, in the hope Of their being useful. Should they be thought of advantage to the younger students of painting, in directing their minds to a regular mode Of investigating the intricacies of the art, I shall follow them with others illustrative, in the first instance, of light and shade, and, ultimately, of the arrangement of colour. On the contrary, should the work not be considered a desideratum, by publishing only a first part, I escape a heavy responsibility and expense - a tart to which I do not wish that either my vanity or my love for the fine arts should subject me.

Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
