Text Appearing Before Image:
composition ofNardon s pictures is sometimes very good. Thedrapery is beautifully arranged and the balance ofthe picture admirable. I should much like to seethose who laugh at them try their hand at similarcompositions. The last step was to use fine gold in powder,such as we now name shell-gold, because it issold in shells. It is made by grinding up gold-leaf with water and honey. With this they coveredthe whole picture. Little gold clouds were made tofloat in the sky, gold threads of wavy hair weresuperimposed on a yellow ground, the high lightsof the drapery were touched in in gold, and infact the whole picture was overdone with thismaterial. To make the gold adhere they used some borax—a fatal practice. It is lamentable that the use ofthis pernicious material should still be continuedin our modern church windows. Of course, a greatpart of our modern work is so bad and devoid ofspirit that it will be rather a gain that it shouldperish; but there are some windows by Burne-Jones114
