Description
Drawing in Silver and Gold: A History of Metalpoint from Leonardo to Jasper Johns. This beautifully illustrated book explores the history of metalpoint, a technique used by master draftsmen to create exquisite drawings. From the Middle Ages to the present day, artists have employed this medium to produce lines of astonishing delicacy on specially prepared surfaces. The book examines the practice of metalpoint over six centuries, shedding new light on famous works and infrequently studied periods. A team of authors-curators reveals patterns of use and technique across time and between different schools, incorporating new scientific analysis. This authoritative reference offers fresh interpretations of a practice central to the history of drawing, making it an essential resource for art historians and enthusiasts alike. The book is accompanied by an exhibition schedule, including shows at the National Gallery of Art and the British Museum.
