Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Fresco Painting: As Practised by the Old Italian and Spanish Masters, With a Preliminary Inquiry Into the Nature of the Colours Used in Presco Painting, With Observations and Notes The revival of the art of Fresco Painting in the nineteenth century, will be an epoch in the fine arts, and, will probably, be the means of forming a great school of painting in this country, and lead to the improvement of the sister arts of sculpture and architecture. The moment it was determined to decorate the new Houses of Parliament with fresco paintings, it became important to ascertain the mode adopted by the great masters of the Italian and Spanish schools. To accomplish this desirable object, it became necessary to recur to the old treatises on the subject, especially those written in the Italian and Spanish languages. This inquiry was fortunately undertaken by a gentleman fully competent to the task. The result was pre sented to the public in the valuable reports of the commissioners on the fine arts. The path of inquiry was well traced out in these reports, and the subject coinciding with my own pursuits and inclinations, I was induced to pursue the inquiry, from the persuasion, that the introduction of the art into this country, would be the means of founding a great English school of painting. Independent of other considerations, there appear to me to be certain analogies between Italy, during the period the fine arts flourished in that country, and England at the present time, which strengthens this persuasion. The same wealth and splen dour of our nobles and merchants, the same commercial prosperity, and, above all, the same spirit of inquiry, which characterised Italy at the period I have mentioned, is applicable to England at the present moment. The advantage is on the side of England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... to the length of time it is exposed to the fire; and this agrees with the statement of Dr. Lewis, inserted in the Encyc. Brit. Art. colour-making." The fibrous red Haematite of Ulverstone, has a finer grain than the Cornish. OF SINOPIA. Besides the Amatito and Albin before mentioned, writers on art mention other natural red pigments proper to be used in fresco, namely, Rubrica, Sinopia, Cinabrese, Majorica, Terra Rossa d'lnghilterra, Terra Bruna d' Inghilterra, Rouge Violet, Ferretta di Spagna, Almagre, Pabonazo, Tierra Roxa, and Burnt Ochre, are all spoken of by different authors as red colours, or used instead of red colours, and are all ores of iron; and, excepting the last two, are merely different names for the same pigment, differing merely in quality, intensity of colour, or mode of preparation. That this pigment is in fact the Haematite or red ochre of the mineralogists.--See Phillips, Jameson, Tit. Red iron ore--Haematite. Sinopia is mentioned or referred to as a red colour by most of the several writers on colours and pigments. It is described by Pliny as a natural pigment, which derived its name from Sinopia a city of Pontus, it was also brought from Egypt; the Balearic Islands, (Majorca, Minorca, &c.) and Africa; but the best was brought from the Isle of Lemnos and Cappadocia, where it was found in certain caves and holes. That which adhered to the rocks was the best, and the pieces of which on being broken, shewed the same colour throughout. There were three sorts differing in colour. The first deep red, the second paler, and the third browner. The Lemnian * His words are as follow: --' The oxides of iron may be made to appear purplish, or inclining to the scarlet, according to the manner in which the calcination is...
