Very interesting to zoom all the way in and note that some of the pigments had a tendency to crack as they dried, and others did not.

I imagine the paints were selected intentionally with this in mind, as the cracking where it exists seems to enhance the painting more than take away (dark background, hats, etc) while lighter colors that should not be cracked, are indeed less so (skin, armor).

It’s more likely that the darker pigment contributed to the cracking rather than the other way around or whatever.
