<p>[QUOTE="PollyP, post: 1268743, member: 13004"]Hello, I am new here, and just came across this post. Your question reminded me of a amazing documentary, recently shown on NOVA, ‘decoding da Vinci’. It showed how modern art historians are able to see through the layers of paint on his masterpieces. Unlike today, past painters used all types of mediums, and many, many layers. Egg tempera was used often for different effects, however it is a major factor in the cracking we see today on centuries old art. I would speculate that your artist used a higher concentration in the face area, to create a depth and glow. Incorporate even a small bump to the painting, during a simple move, timing and temperature, and the beautiful, natural pattern sets your work aside from others. I would also note the specific pattern on your records and insurance forms, for easy identification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
