Figure paintings by Edward

delight to everyone who ad-
mires fine craftsmanship and
sound traditional painting.
Some of these paintings were

He is said to employ Venetian
old master techniques: his sub
jects are mostly humble peo-
pie in simple work clothes. His
technique gives his paintings
a luscious surface, although
his color schemes are subdued,
chiefly gold and gray. His
introduction of rich color (as

emphasized by the reticence of
the predominant tonality. His
figures are lovingly modelled
with chiaroscuro.
