Anotations

Scope note:

Technique involving the working of the surface of certain areas of a painting or polychromed carved figure to imitate the color and shading of human flesh; usually referring to Caucasian flesh color. The term was first coined in reference to Spanish art, but may be applied to any western art; particularly in use prior to the early 1900s. In some cases, certain artists specialized in encarnacione, while other artists would paint drapery, landscape, and other areas of the work.
