Tempera: the saint on gold, the predella landscape, the modern still life

Tempera — a half-length saint in a red robe with a green-lined mantle, a thin tooled halo behind the head, one hand raised in blessing and a book held in the other, the face modelled over a green underpainting in pink hatching, set against burnished gold leaf punched with a repeating tooled pattern, the forms built up in fine parallel hatching

Reading 1Saint on gold
Reading 2Predella landscape
Reading 3Modern still life

Tempera is egg tempera on gessoed panel: the early Renaissance's fine cross-hatched flesh, a gold-leaf ground punched with patterns, colours that never quite blend. These nine render a saint on gold, a predella landscape and a modern still life, each across three panel states — punched gold ground, plain panel, and an aged, cracked panel. Ask for a family portrait, a deep blue ground, or a dog at the feet — the same three panel states carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each render is composed as a tall panel painting, suited to a framed print or a poster.
Can I get a different subject, like a family portrait or a dog?
Yes — the direction field takes any subject, and the same three panel states render it.
What's the difference between the three panel states?
Gold ground carries the punched gold-leaf backdrop of an altarpiece; plain panel drops the gold for a painted landscape ground; aged panel shows the craquelure and wear of a centuries-old painting.
Is this a copy of a real early Renaissance painting?
No — it's an original rendered image in the register of the technique, not a reproduction of any named painting.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
