← HistoryWhich outcome resulted in Byzantine painted icons when egg-based tempera dried too quickly?
A)Increased pigment settling, stratification✓
B)Enhanced color luminosity, durability
C)Diminished binder suspension, cohesion
D)Improved layer adhesion, flexibility
💡 Explanation
Pigment settling caused stratification because rapid drying accelerates density-driven SEDIMENTATION, where heavier pigments fall out of suspension at different rates. Therefore, layers separate, rather than adhering uniformly as they would when the slower drying process maintains better binder-pigment interaction.
