Introduction of masterpieces of tempera paintings 1 ("Notification of conception", Hula Angelico, Prado Museum)
The etymology of tempera in tempera painting means "mixing", which is derived from the mixture of pigment and chicken egg yolk, and is characterized by its beautiful color development.
By the way, even in the same Middle Ages painting method, fresco paintings are painted with plaster on the wall and painted with pigments dissolved in water or lime water while still dry.
Tomoyuki Shiomi (Professor Emeritus of Taisho University), the organizer of this solo exhibition and the creator of the work, studied the theory of Gothic painting in the Middle Ages, and was fascinated by the beauty of tempera paintings. He learned how to make picture frames by himself, and he has drawn tenpela paintings at home every day.
When it comes to tempera paintings, I had the impression of something "old-fashioned paintings", but I was surprised at the vividness of the tempera paintings at the venue and changed my perception.
It's really a shining color, color, and color.
The solo exhibition introduced today will be held until June 9th (Sat).
