This volume is a continuation of the third on The H istory and M ethods of Ancient and M odem Painting, and completes a survey of the subject from the earliest times down to the end of the eighteenth century in Italy. In the course of the work I have treated, and explained, as fully as possible, the methods and materials adopted and used by the Greek and Byzantine artists, and by the Italian painters of early and modern times, embracing miniature, mosaic, encaustic, tempera, fresco and oil painting, together with an account of the nature and constituents of the pigments and vehicles used in the various periods.
