Zusammenfassung: | Distemper – and with it ornamental painting – reached its apogee in the 19th century following a sea-change in tastes. Imports of chalk (the main pigment in distemper) became possible for the first time, helped by a new, European rail network. The Industrial Revolution gifted painters a large number of new and brilliant light-resistant pigments and a huge range of size types. Distemper brought to wall painting a revolutionary, pore-filling and evenly matt surface of perfect quality with a typically characteristic refractivity. The almost unlimited freedom to use any pigments in the universal and relatively neutral binder that was size made distemper by far the most important painting system in the 19th century. This fact is still appreciated today. |
