Three texts by two Italian Renaissance painters - Leonardo da Vinci
and Gian Paolo Lomazzo - and a compendium of the 53 standard
pigments commonly found on artists' palettes for painting in oil on
panel and on canvas as outlined by the writer, Raffaello Borghini,
make up this 16th century collection of pigments. Leonardo's studio
advice on the use of colours for capturing light and dark picks up
this theme from Italian 15th century and classical painting and
lays the foundation for this practice as it would develop in
European painting. The plates are of works by Titian found in the
National Gallery in London, whose pigments have been identified and
matched to the paintings.
