The method was adopted by the Ancient Romans, but by the Middle Ages, the process was lost, and painters relied once again on the prohibitively expensive lapis lazuli. Replacing the expensive lapis lazuli, Egyptian blue was a synthetic compound made by heating malachite, sand, and other materials to a temperature of 1,500-2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike scribes’ bicolor palettes, recreational and tomb painters used a wider range of colors, all naturally occurring besides so-called “Egyptian blue.” Inscriptions with the king’s name - as in a palette at the British Museum featuring hieroglyphs in high relief that read “the perfect god, lord of the Two Lands, Nebpehtire, s” - may have noted that the owner was the king’s official scribe and suggest that perhaps the king himself gave the palette to the scribe.Īn Ancient Egyptian painting palette owned by a professional painter and housed at the Met also bears the king’s name, but one at the Cleveland Museum of Art includes the name of the owner himself, signifying it was likely used for leisurely painting. Scribes’ palettes mostly held only red and black pigments and many bear inscriptions of the king’s name, suggesting the importance of the scribe in the eyes of the ruler. 1427-1401 BCE), boxwood with inscription inlaid in Egyptian blue, 7/8 x 8 1/4 x 1 7/16 inches, The Cleveland Museum of Art (courtesy Cleveland Museum of Art) If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.Īs a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business.“Paint Box of Vizier Amenemope” (ca.

The parts of the job that did get completed were good, but we can only give 2 stars for a service business that can't follow their own estimates, gets called twice to fix things, and then pulls a No-Show to fix the rest. Would have held payment had we known that the job would be left unfinished. Manager was notified, and we were told that the crew would come back the very next morning to correct things. The crew did come back and walked through with the PM, but they still did not correct the noted items. Project manager came for a post-walkthrough, and several deficiencies were observed (missed caulking, missed painting). Had to contact the project manager about the trim because the garage door paint really couldn't be removed. Right off the bat they painted the garage door, and completely ignored the trim. Got an estimate that included splicing of the garage door trim as well as no painting of the garage door. Hard to know what to think about this group.
