Why would famous artists mix oil and tempera paints? | Headline Science

The 15th century represents an important transition in art history, as oil paints gradually replaced egg-based tempera paints as the painting medium of choice. During the transition period, artists sometimes mixed materials, combining oils with tempera paint to create a blend known as tempera grassa. Reporting in ACS Applied Polymer Materials, researchers explored the effects of adding oil to tempera paint to better understand how various paint formulas would affect the appearance of finished works. Surprisingly, they found that adding oils to tempera paint does not slow its drying time, as had long been assumed. But artists may have had other reasons for creating the mixture, as the researchers discovered. “Tempera and Tempera Grassa─From Wet Paints to Solid Films” ACS Applied Polymer Materials https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.3c00179 Corresponding authors: Ophélie Ranquet, Ph.D.; Celia Duce, Ph.D.; Patrick Dietemann, Ph.D.; Norbert Willenbacher, Ph.D. Artworks Mary with Child and Saints Dominic, Michael, John the Baptist and Thomas Artist: Domenico Ghirlandaio and workshop Full painting photo: Sibylle Forster Detail photos: Daniela Karl The Martyrdom of St Sebastian Artist: Jacopo del Sellaio Full painting photo and detail photo: Sibylle Forster All artwork photos courtesy of Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen – Alte Pinakothek München (Bavarian State Painting Collections) Research video by Ophélie Ranquet, Ph.D. More from Headline Science:    • Headline Science   More from ACS Publications: https://pubs.acs.org/ ACS Spring 2023 Media Briefings: https://www.acs.org/acsspring2023brie...
