STUDIES ON ANTIQUE PAINTING AND USE OF COLOR III

Nadia J. Koch, De picturae initiis. Über die Anfänge der Malerei im 7. Jh. v. Chr.

With the aid of the basic techniques of line, area /surface and colour developed in the Peripatos, and of remaining paintings from the 7th Century B.C. on terracotta and stone, the composition principles and procedures of early Greek coloured painting are examined. A new interpretation of the antique written sources and modern technical tests prove the origins of antique surface painting as early as the 7th Century B.C. Comprehensive colour reconstructions summarise the extremely detailed analysis and permit a sensuous impression of the lost technology.
