Spojrzenie współczesnego artysty na dawne techniki malarskie (technika temperowo-olejna)

Abstract

The article discusses technological issues related to a mixed, tempera-oil technique. Beginning with the history of the Italian Trecento painting when the tempera technique dominated, the article moves on to discuss the 15th century and points out the circumstances in which the tempera-oil technique was used in the Flemish and Italian school. It finishes with the 16th century when the status of the oil technique became established, by concentrating mainly on examples from the Venetian school. The author indicates the circumstances in which painters learn from each other, use their predecessors’ experience and then modify it to form their own technique. Further, the author stresses that such workshop methods – chiaroscuro modelling based on predecessors’ experience – can also be used in acrylic painting techniques.
