The papers in this volume constitute a substantial body of work
that provides a wide-ranging overview of current research on the
technology and practice of Old Master paintings, covering some 700
years of European painting, from the thirteenth century to the
early twentieth century, including works by Guido da Siena,
Bellini, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Fernando Gallego,
Holbein, Caravaggio, El Greco, Rubens, Murillo, Gainsborough,
Reynolds, Whistler, van Gogh and Munch. Six of the contributions
focus on technological or historical aspects of specific artists'
materials. These papers were presented at a conference held at the
National Gallery to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the National
Gallery Technical Bulletin. The Bulletin has a long history of
publishing interdisciplinary research on the technical examination
of paintings to inform both art-historical study and issues
relating to the material history of a work. This type of research
was the central focus of the conference and provided the overall
thematic link between the contributions presented. Contains essays
on the work of a wide range of artists, including Michelangelo,
Leonardo da Vinci, Hans Holbein, Albrecht Altdofer, Caravaggio,
Rubens, Thomas Gainsborough, Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch,
Christen Kobke, Bartolome Esteban Murillom and El Greco.
