What reading level is Greek And Roman Methods of Painting: Some Comments On the Statements Made By Pliny And Vitruvius About Wall And Panel Painting book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He has developed this ingenious theory at great length, and those who wish to study the evidence he brings together must be referred to his book.
In the first place, the attempt to connect the modern stucco lustro process with the ancient technique through Pliny's description of the prepara- tion of Punic wax breaks down at the outset, as it is quite obvious that Pliny's description does not refer to an emulsion of wax and soda. Yet the presence of a watery mixture containing soda is necessary ...to Herr Berger's theory, because he depends on the solution of soda to saponify the subsequently added oil. In fact the wax is superfluous and unnecessary.
In the second place, in the account given by Pliny and Vitruvius of the application of wax mixed with a little oil to walls, we are directed to melt the wax, not to boil a watery emulsion.
In the third place, the process described by Pliny and Vitruvius is meant for only limited application to special cases.
In the fourth place, the results of chemical analysis have proved the absence of wax from Roman frescoes.
