Synopsis :

This prize-winning book offers the only comprehensive discussion available on materials, techniques, and condition issues in Western easel paintings from medieval times to the present.

"Every element of Kirsh and Levenson's book is smart, concise, and informative. . . . [It is] the essential book on its subject."--Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle

"A long overdue book with direct relevance for modern students of the history of art."--Libby Sheldon, Burlington Magazine
