An overview of the styles and history of oil painting in the 17th century to the mid 1700s.
While the title would suggest this is merely a work from an artistic view, it covers a variety of topics including how to work with gold and silver gilding, among others.

> approved rules for preparing, mixing,
> and working of oyl-colours : the whole
> treatise being so full compleat, and
