- Abstract
This article provides the first overview of Dutch artists' manuals, published in the first half of the nineteenth century. These instructional books tell the reader what materials to use and how to apply them in order to successfully make an artwork. Contemporary researchers have used artists' manuals as a source of historical information for technical research of historical objects. However, the focus on the technical information results in a lack of consideration for other aspects of published manuals. The present article is aimed precisely at that: what can non-technical texts, material form and cultural-social context tell us about artists' manuals?
