Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEMPERA (the Italian term), or DISTEMPER , a method of
painting
  in which solid pigments are employed, mixed with awater
medium
 ,' in which some
kind
  of gum or gelatinous sub-stance is dissolved to prevent the
colours
  from scaling off.
Tempera
  is also called in
Italy
  fresco a secco, as distinguished from fresco b&Irmo, or true fresco, painted on freshly laid patches of stucco. Various media have been used for
tempera
 
work
 , such as the glutinous sap of the fig and other trees, various gums which are soluble in water, and size made by boiling down
fish
 -bones, parchment and animals' hoofs. A mixture of egg and vinegar has also been found to make a good
medium
 , especially when it is desirable to apply the
colours
  in consider-able
body
  or impasto. For the nature and history of
painting
  in tempera and fresco, see PAINTING.
