Daniel V. Thompson jr. The Materials and Techniques of Medieval Painting Translated from English by Florin & Ioana Caragiu Gold speaks loudly in all medieval arts, and its words vary from the complex speeches that Duccio and Botticelli give it to the simple Magnificat! That it sings in every least provincial work. There was a time, and not so long ago, when men spoke not of the Middle Ages but of the Dark Ages. We have learned that their apparent darkness is the darkness of our own understanding. When we contemplate the history of medieval art, and summon up remembrance of what its works were in their day, and see the part played in them by the metal gold, we may well wonder whether we should not do wisely to call them not the Middle Ages but the Golden Age.
