 The history of Maroger(Page 1)
Maroger felt he had successfully reconstituted a medium, that corresponds in the essential principles to that of Rubens.
According to Maroger's theory, a quality of the work of the past now duplicable with the Maroger medium is that of superimposing wet paint on wet paint in such a manner that the superimposed stroke retains its integrity without sinking into the underlayer.
Maroger's genius was in his directing the line of research to the materials themselves- the vehicle in particular.

Jacques Maroger (1884 - 1962) was a painter and the technical director of the Louvre Museum's laboratory in Paris, France.
Maroger introduced to the modern day artist what the masters achieved centuries before in their paintings, a way to ensure permanence and color quality in oils without sacrificing fluid and subtle paint handling.
Although Maroger’s paintings are only 50 years old, so far they look as fresh as though painted yesterday, and they closely resemble the technique and look of the masters.

Jacques Maroger was the teacher; Alice Warder Garrett was the patron; R.R Harris was the critic; and Joseph Sheppard was one of the students who would become nationally known as a Baltimore Realist.
Following Anquetin's guidance, Maroger copied paintings of the old masters and studied anatomy in a dissection class of a medical school as he took up and continued his teachers research into the colors of the old masters' pigments and the brightness, transparency and permanence of their canvases.
Maroger was best known for his rediscovery of the mediums of Jan Van Eyck and other Flemish and Italian Renaissance painters long before his research was published in 1948 in his book The Secret Formulas and Techniques of the Masters.

The "secret formula" that Maroger devised during his lifetime included the main ingredient white lead.

Maroger had his students copy as many master paintings as they could, much as piano students practice and learn from playing master compositions.
To Maroger, the “great art” was finished at the end of the 18th century.
As of now, they are a credit to their patron, St. Maroger.” Instead of a three-week exhibition of realist paintings by the disciples of Maroger, the gallery remained open and strongly supported for three years.

Jacques Maroger’s quest for the mediums and techniques of the masters of the 16th century continued when he came to the United States and to his teaching position at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
As with Hans Schuler, Sr., the legacy of M. Maroger has continued through the teachings of Ann Didusch Schuler, her daughter and grandsons and forms the basis of the painting discipline at the Schuler School of Fine Art.
Jacques Maroger, a former director of the Laboratory of the Louvre in Paris, president of the Restorers of France, and a recipient of the Legion of Honor, arrived in the United States in 1939.

Realizing Maroger’s interest in the painting qualities of the old masters, Blancherecommended that he study with Louis Anquetin, who had abandoned the modern movement and was devoting his time and career to trying to rediscover the lost techniques of the masters.
Maroger’s immigration to the United States was very much influenced by Alice Warder Garrett, the American art patron and mistress of Evergreen House in Baltimore.
Maroger was well-known for his rediscovery of the mediums of Jan Van Eyck and other Flemish and Italian master painters long before his research was published in 1948 in his book, The Secret Formulas and Techniques of the Masters, and his strong feelings about the proper training of young artists was equally well-known.

 Portrait Artist Forum - A No-lead Maroger medium?
Maroger was actually correct in asserting that “Ruben’s Jelly” was a Megilp medium: He coined that phrase to promote the formula that would most often be termed “Maroger’s Medium”.
This is in contradiction to the many claims by Jacques Maroger and the advocates of his medium that this medium was used by the painters we refer to as the Old Masters, which includes those of the 16th and 17th centuries.
I am certainly no apologist for Jacques Maroger and his padded-out book, but the reality is that he did not simply associate with conservators, he was one of the head consevarors at the Louvre and was honored by the French government for his seminal work on uncovering the techniques of Jan Van Eyck.

Maroger is an oil varnish painting medium discovered by Jacques Maroger, painter and former curator of the Louvre in the early 20th Century, who claimed to have found the secret formulas used by Old Masters such as Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Velasquez, as well as others.
With Maroger's medium the artist can paint wet into wet, wet over dry, or glaze in layers with surprising facility.
Mastic Varnish - Made of mastic resin from Chios (an island off the coast of Greece) and pure gum spirits of turpentine, this varnish was commonly used as a picture varnish as well as a major ingredient in mediums by the Old Masters.

 Maryland ArtSource - What's New
Alice Warder Garrett, who lived at Evergreen from 1929 through 1952, was a patron of the arts who encouraged Jacques Maroger, the French painter and former Technical Director of the Laboratory of the Louvre Museum, to immigrate to the United States in 1939 and in 1940, introduced Maroger to the Maryland Institute of Art.
Maroger, known for his rediscovery of the mediums of Jan Van Eyck and other Flemish and Italian painters, championed the principals of classical art and the use of the human figure, teaching the importance of drawing and painting techniques of the Old Masters.
Sheppard's association with Maroger and fellow Baltimore realist painters gave rise to the formation of the Six Realists Gallery and acclaim for the painters nationally.

Maroger's lengthy but nicely worded intro certainly would find agreement among many learning or practicing painters today...as well as times long gone.
Maroger's book was printed in 1948, and some might believe books on Oil Painting were unique to the 20th century.
However, as the numerous 19th century introductory painting manuals attest, these same "Maroger Mediums" were actually well-known and commonly used throughout a span of time which Maroger detested and decried as lacking those meritable painting accomplishments attained during the venerated "Old Master's" time-period.

In the late 1940s, a French restorer named Jacques Maroger described an oil painting medium known as “Rubens’ jelly.” The substance was reputed to be one of the secrets behind Rubens’ spectacular painting technique and that of other Old Masters as well.
Maroger medium, as it came to be known, was really just a variation on a medium that was well-described in 19th-century artists’ instruction manuals: meguilp.
This medium, also known as megilp, macgelph and perhaps a half-dozen other similar names, was a mixture of cooked linseed oil, dissolved lead acetate or lead carbonate, and mastic varnish.

I am also intimately familiar with maroger and also have made it and used it for years.
As far as the original maroger and megilp mediums, they eventually caused paintings to darken and crack -- which I've seen no evidence of alkyd mediums doing.
Maroger is a very flexible medium that doesn’t have the problems with cracking like the harder resins tend to impart if used improperly.

 Old Masters Maroger - Flemish Maroger Painting Medium
Flemish Maroger is an oil varnish painting medium discovered by Jacques Maroger, painter and former curator of the Louvre in the early 20th Century, who claimed to have found the secret formulas used by Old Masters such as Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, Velasquez, as well as others.
As the painter continues to work, the Maroger gradually sets up (or stiffens) within the paint, creating a slight ‘pull’ or dragging texture.
Maroger medium generally dries overnight, allowing the artist to continue working without having to wait days for passages to dry.

A chance encounter in a New York bookstore led William O. Ewing III to just the book he needed, one which gave him the answers he had been seeking ever since he was an undergraduate art student in the late 60s.
It was a fortuitous event in the mid-70s which Bill Ewing remembers clearly, as well he should, since the technical formulas for his subsequent success as a painter were found in the pages of an esoteric text researched by a controversial Frenchman named Jacques Maroger who died in the 1920s.
By digging into musty manuscripts, Maroger was able to revive painting formulas which had been lost for centuries.
