"Tempera rediviva"
Tempera rediviva is a 1909 Leipzig treatise on tempera painting by Alfons von Pereira-Arnstein, held by the Getty Research Institute and written for painters and conservators. Its plates show hand-drawn crack patterns in painted surfaces, grouped by the old masters or conditions they record, with a designer able to draw on them for fractured, aged, or craquelure textures.
