The Craftsman's Handbook, Volume 2

This is an interesting guide to authoritative English translation and painting law by D. V. Thompson of Il Libro dell'Arte written in Florence in the 15th century. It is an introduction to the art style of art students, materializing the secrets and skills of the great master.

Everyone who marvels at the color and surface quality that I have seen medieval paintings and has endured for 500 years will find this attractive reading. I express the lost art as a golden stone, a mosaic of a broken egg shell, a sacred coat of arms, a gum of goats, and an adjustment of your life for etiquette. The biggest reason for the artists. You are told how to make green curtains, black monk robes, trees and plants, oil paintings, whisker of mural paintings, and the correct proportions of male bodies. The reader may be able to make details of their own entertainment and curiosity practical by trying out the method given here.

Today, artists are no longer interested in keeping the mini fish tail in a particular direction. These are the usual part of the artist's work in the craftsman's handbook, which is strange and naive for us. This is its attraction. But when I remember the magnificent mosaic, paintings and mural paintings produced by these methods, this book has greater value as a touchstone for another era.

In an article entitled "Determinism in Modern Physics" of the "Science Philosophy Handbook". Volume 2: Philosophy of Physics (volume editing: John Earman and Jeremy Butter. Manual editor: Dov M. Gabbay, Paul Thagard and John Woods; North Holland, 2005, pp. 1369-1434), philosopher of science John Earman Strongly opposed Newtonian physics is a general view of certainty. It is widely believed that classical physics provides a friendly environment for determinism. Indeed, in order to succeed in this environment, determinism must overcome many obstacles. First, the classical space-time structure may not be enough to support the certainty of Laplacian particle movements. Second, even if the spatiotemporal structure is abundant, uniqueness is compromised by the initial value problem of Newton's equation of motion unless the force function satisfies the appropriate continuity condition.

Over the years there have been many papers on the practice of painting dates, theoretical and philosophical issues, and the concept of using colors. The first important craftsman handbook was written by Tuscan painter Cennino Cennini (about 1370-1440) around 1390. Cennini clearly explains how to use, preparation method, availability, etc. of various pigments. The craftsman's guide is a very valuable guide to help us understand the early picture. In 1435 and 1436 important papers were written by scholars, architects and writers Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472). Alberti is not very interested in color, but he wrote about the combined color value, that is, the concept that one color can emphasize each other when arranged. I also talked about the psychological impact of color to the observer.
