Gesso Sottile: Plaster of Paris Slaked a Month, Ground, Wrung and Tempered Warm with Parchment Size (Cennini, c. 1400)

The fine gilding and painting ground of Cennino Cennini: plaster of Paris kept under water for a month, the water changed daily until it is dead and soft as silk, dried in cakes, then ground, wrung out in linen and tempered warm with size boiled from sheep-parchment shavings, never letting it boil or froth.

Read Cennini

"Kept moist in a large tub for at least a month; renew the water every day until it almost rots."

Slake the plaster

Put well-purified plaster of Paris in a large tub of water (the translator's note: about a gallon to each pound, so it cannot set). Keep it wet at least a month, changing the water every day, until it is completely slaked, all heat gone, and soft as silk.

Boil the size

Boil shavings of sheep parchment in water until the water is down to one third. It is ready when a little rubbed between the palms makes one hand stick to the other. Strain it two or three times.

Grind and wring

Drop the cakes one by one into clean water and let them drink all they will. Grind a little at a time on the slab, adding no more water. Gather it on strong white linen until you have a loaf's worth, fold the cloth and wring out all the water you can.

Temper warm

In a new, grease-free (better glazed) pipkin, scrape the gesso fine with a knife like cheese. Add the size, less than for gesso grosso, and work it with the hand like fritter batter so it does not froth. Stand the pipkin in a cauldron of very hot water to keep it warm: it must never boil.

History and honest limits

From Cennino Cennini, **Il Libro dell'Arte** (c. 1400), chaps. 113, 116-117, in Herringham's translation (1899), pp. 93-98 (checked on the archive.org scan bookartcenninoc01herrgoog). The water ratio is Herringham's footnote, not Cennini's. The smooth stone slab in place of porphyry and the metric figures are ours.
