The Alchemy of Paint: Art, Science and Secrets from the Middle Ages
Art, Science and Secrets from the Middle Ages. Author Spike Bucklow sets out to unravel the myths behind pigments like dragonsblood - said to be a mixture of elephants' and dragons' blood. Examining both the medieval palette and the often 'cloak and dagger' science that created it, he uncovers the secret recipes behind the luxurious colours we are familiar with today.
