Cremonese Varnish Secrets
Edited by Vincenzo Gheroldi
This study is a collection based on an 18th century manuscript
in a Milan library. Vincenzo Gheroldi, Stefania Vitalie and Luciano
Colombo provide the cultural background to the amateurs who wrote
artistic recipe books and their preferences and technical skills
in preparing varnishes for paintings as well as 'Chinese varnishes'
and varnishes for miniature paintings. Two further essays deal
with 18th century varnishes for violin making and restoration.
This book is an intriguing volume of insight into the golden age
of Cremonese instruments.
Paperback, in hard sleeve. 251 pp; text in English and Italian.
