That makes sense! Recently I judged an SCA A&S contest and in the "household" class was a lovely bookbinding display, including a reprint of an article. In it it discusses that the majority of book covers from the North are made from wood while most of those from Italy are made from pasting layers of the first pages together- this was from a single though large collection. I do wonder if it has anything to do with bora and other wildlife that eats wood as the few wooden book covers from Italy are full of such creatures. I did initially find the image on another site and it is also available on AllPosters.com http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Uczta_monarsza.jpg Then again as there were several Northern Artists at work in spain at various times it would not really mean it is invalid (Anthonis Mor, Juan di Flandres, Peter paul Pourbus etc etc) but it may mean the painting was meant for a client further north. Hmmm his painting of the Port of Seville in 1498 also shows the same looseness of style. http://www.allposters.com/-st/Alonso-Sanchez-Coello-Posters_c65778_.htm That may have been oil on canvas (according to another poster site).
