- Focussing on the three types of object featured in the V&A display Renaissance Watercolours: illuminated manuscripts, portrait miniatures and coloured drawings, this film showcases the qualities that made watercolour the medium of choice for many artists during the Renaissance.
A modern-day painting of a pomegranate, using traditional watercolour techniques, by artist Lucy Smith, also demonstrates how watercolour painting remains a versatile medium, ideal for capturing life-like details that help us to record our diverse world.

*Correction*:
What beautiful example of Nicholas Hilliard’s breathtaking work, even to the cipher of his and his wife’s initials on both sides of her image.
Watercolor is the most difficult to master and most under-appreciated medium in the art industry. Galleries still price watercolor much lower than the oil paintings.
Is this really watercolour as we understand it today, or is some of it egg tempera? They're both water based mediums but it would be helpful to the audience to know the difference. I think a lot of early paintings were done in egg tempera.
Omg, the artworks are so vibrant I thought they were contemporary recreation. Those were some top notch quality paints to stay beautiful for half a millennia!
Whatever happened to using gloves to handle historical artifacts? I always thought gloves were needed to keep oils off the artifacts?
Thank you for all you have done over COVID, hopefully we will be seeing you soon, love watercolour medium
You forgot to mention that watercolor was used early on because oils were not available!
Where was the explanation of materials of renaissance watercolors. Thought it was gonna explain what pigments were used. So disappointed.
I love medieval art! Especially Illuminated Manuscripts and Codex
