LIFE OF An artist IN MEDIEVAL TIME
In medieval times artists were merely considered as craftsmen. They were hired to produce panel paintings and wall paintings (called frescos) for churches and government buildings. The paintings were generally of a religious nature, providing something for the faithful to concentrate on while they prayed.
Artists began their training at a very young age. They learned to mix natural pigments made from the earth, from rocks and even from insects, together with egg yolk which made the images very resistant. For panel paintings on wood, the surface was covered with animal glue and linen and once it was dry, layers of gesso (a type of white chalk) were added (sometimes as many as 15) and sanded down to create a smooth hard surface.
A design was transferred to the surface with charcoal and then layers of almost transparent natural pigments and egg-yolk were added to create volume and form to the subject.
Often real gold was added to the paintings. Before applying it, many layers of a type of clay (called bole) were painted onto the surface. This provided a good base for the gold and allowed for the gold to have designs stamped into it creating a glimmering effect when viewed by candlelight.
