Re: Rembrandt's mysterious impastoes
It's been a while since I read Rembrandt: The painter at Work by van Wettering but I believe it was suggested that it was a simple emulsion- possibly just oil and water. If I recall correctly (slim chance) the book made a connection with this emulsion and the fact that the lead would have been stored in water.
