St Leontius of Naples

The images of earthly kings, even if they are not made of finest gold and silver, command at once honour from all. As men are not honouring matter, they do not choose the most precious from the less precious; they honour the image, whether made of putty or of copper. A derider of either, whether he shows contempt to the image of plaster or of gold, will be held to show contempt to his lord and king. We make golden images of His angels, principalities, or powers, for His honour and glory.
St Methodius, Bishop of the Patari.]]>416-8781290Art education.(null)2011-05-20T01:40:25-04:00http://www.ikonograph.com/blog_files/0f3c0986edfa6f384c253e14898de37b-7.html#unique-entry-id-7http://www.ikonograph.com/blog_files/0f3c0986edfa6f384c253e14898de37b-7.html#unique-entry-id-7In the Hermeneia or Painters Manual, written by a monk and icon painter, Dionysius of Fourna, there appears the chapter, "On making underpaint for wall-paintings." In this chapter Dionysius elaborates on the making of sankir, "Take terraverte, dark ochre, lime-white for working on walls, and black; grind them up well and use as proplasmos ( sankir) when you paint flesh colour."
