In reply to the discussion: Shroud of Turin [View all]skepticscott
(13,029 posts)and reflect a compete ignorance of the method to which I referred (which method has
been used to produce images, on fabric, very much like the one on the shroud). This was not a case of a relatively thick layer of pigmented tempera base being slathered on a surface. Obviously that would all flake off of fabric, and nobody is suggesting that the same sort of base was used here that would have been used on panel. This is a case of a very dilute solution of protein and suspended pigment being applied to the fabric and coating individual fibers in a very thin layer that doesn't flake off (and despite your fact- free claim, does not require gesso).
I'm sure your thought process will be as immune to these plain facts as to all the rest presented here, but you seem to enjoy that.
