A team of authors--curators, conservators, scientists--address variations in technique across time and between different schools, incorporating new scientific analysis, revealing patterns of use, and providing a rare demonstration of the medium's range and versatility. They reappraise famous metalpoints of the Renaissance and shed new light on infrequently studied periods, such as the seventeenth century and the Victorian silverpoint revival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new examination of an exquisite but not thoroughly understood medium, \u003ci\u003eDrawing in Silver and Gold\u003c\/i\u003e offers fresh interpretations of a practice central to the history of drawing and will serve as the most authoritative reference on metalpoints for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stacey Sell, Hugo Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691166129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691166124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 7.80w x 1.40d","brand":"Stacey Sell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993983975679,"sku":"9780691166124","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47f9b5ee-4b12-46c9-943f-782e433898ff.jpg?v=1683327438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drawing-in-silver-and-gold-stacey-sell-9780691166124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
