Wood and Forest Molecules in the Fine Arts: Renaissance Painting and Printmaking

Stevanovic, Tatjana

This book celebrates wood and forest molecules used in renaissance tempera painting, sculpture and printmaking, and above all the genius artists of the renaissance, Piero della Francesca and Albrecht Dürer.

The most beautiful pieces of renaissance art are all executed on wood, out of wood, or with various molecules from forest trees.  We owe wood and other forest products for the durability of the master pieces of great artists that we admire to the present day. The fascinating chemistry of wood constituents will help us understand those outstanding properties of wood.
