Thompson, Jr.  ‘This is D. V. Thompson’s definitive English translation of “Il Libro dell’Arte,” an intriguing guide to methods of painting written in 15th century Florence.  Embodying the secrets and techniques of the great masters, it served as an art student’s introduction to the ways of his craft. … But when we remember the magnificent mosaics, paintings, and frescoes these methods produced, the book takes on an even greater value as a touchstone to another age.’ (from rear wrap)
