Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I demonstratively explored the process of the techniques of decorative art crafts (1. The technique of making nimbuses with stucco bosses, 2. The technique of embossing beeswax, and 3. The technique of using metal leaves). I also used many precious resources that I was able to collect while restoring the fresco ‘The Legend of the True Cross’ made by Agnolo Gaddi in Santa Croce, Italy (1380), and ‘Il libero dell’arte’ (`The Craftsman’s Handbook’) which is said to be the bible of techniques of western classic painting written by Ciennino Cennini who is a pupil of Agnolo Gaddi.
