The magic medium
Recently I've been doing some reading about the 17th century old masters techniques. We now have very sophisticated measuring devices that can analyze the make-up of the paint layers during restoration. So far the overwhelming evidence points to walnut oil and linseed oil. No varnish in the paint layers. All those theorists such as Maroger were apparently writing fiction. Less is more.
