"Encaustic: Or, Count Caylus's method of painting in the manner of the ancients" by J. H. Müntz is a detailed treatise on the ancient method of encaustic painting, written in the mid-18th century. The book explores a unique approach to painting that uses beeswax and colored pigments, claiming to offer more durability and vibrancy compared to traditional oil paints. It appeals to artists and art historians interested in revivalist techniques and practical methods for applying ancient practices in contemporary art. In the text, Müntz elaborates on Count Caylus's innovations in encaustic painting, presenting a step-by-step guide for preparing the painting surface, mixing colors, and applying wax to embed the pigments. The system includes practical tips for artists, emphasizing the advantages of encaustic over oil and watercolor methods regarding stability and ease of retouching. Additionally, Müntz discusses the importance of proper preparation, the types of colors suitable for encaustic, and even provides insights into the fixing process for crayons—all aimed at enhancing the understanding and application of this historical art form. Through experiments and personal observations, Müntz argues for the durability and aesthetic value of encaustic paintings, encouraging artists to explore and adapt these techniques.
