More Information
Details: This book treats the physics and marries science behind paintings -- the pigments, binders, canvas, varnish, and so forth -- that go into making a painting appear the way it does. It discusses the physical principles behind the colors one sees in paintings and how they change with illumination; the various types of paints and binders used in both old and modern paintings; and the optics and microscopic structure of paint films. Special appendices on dating, binders, and dendochronology are also included.
