Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the artistry and craftsmanship behind enamelling, an art form equally rich in its history as it is in its colours. Beginning with a brief discussion of ancient enamel-like techniques and artefacts, the author traces the emergence of enamelling in the Byzantine era and the progression of the craft through the Gothic period into the modern era. The book introduces the techniques and terminologies of enamelling, from cloisonnà and champlevà to basse taille and painted enamels. The author goes on to explore the use of vitreous colour in the hands of goldsmiths and jewellers, from the delicate and intricate work of the Middle Ages to the bold and colourful enamels of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, culminating in an examination of how the art form was revived and reinterpreted in the 19th century. Blending historical and technical insights, this book offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to the development of enamel as both a decorative art and a form of painting in its own right.
