Edward Norgate, aristocratic friend of Charles I and the Earl of
Arundel, made his mark in seventeenth-century England as musician,
herald, and courtier. He also wrote Miniatura, a widely circulated
study of miniature painting in his era that serves today as both a
guide to materials and techniques and a record of the artistic
knowledge and taste of Charles' court. This new edition of
Norgate's treatise, the first since 1919, introduces and fully
annotates the text from technical and art historical perspectives,
firmly establishing the prime importance of Norgate's work. The
book provides a detailed account of Norgate's life and many
interests, his readership, and his technique. The editors-a noted
scholar of seventeenth-century art and an authority on the
techniques and materials of miniature painting-closely examine
Norgate's text and compare it with other contemporary treatises,
placing his techniques in the context of the period. The treatise
itself, first written in 1627-28 and then substantially revised in
1648, sets forth in great detail the methods of English
miniaturists, from the composition and preparation of pigments and
brushes to lighting in the studio. Norgate acknowledges
indebtedness to Hilliard, comments on other artists' styles and
techniques, and reveals through his own views the English
aristocracy's interest in and assimilation of European artistic
culture. Published for the Paul Mellon Center for Studies in
British Art
