Jacques Maroger was a painter and the technical director of the Louvre Museum's laboratory in Paris, France. He devoted his life to understanding the oil-based media of the Old Masters. He emigrated to the United States in 1939 and became a lecturer at the Parsons School of Design in New York. His New York students, Reginald Marsh, John Koch, and Frank Mason adopted his Old Master painting techniques. In 1948, Maroger published the book "The Secret Formulas and Techniques of the Old Masters". Jacques Maroger�s formula and techniques have been studied by many modern painters who wanted the similar effect of the paint quality of the Old Masters. Maroger's "secret formula" included the main ingredient white lead. White lead when cooked into linseed oil acts as a drying agent and preservative of the oil paint color layers. Lead in the Maroger medium helps the oil paint withstand environmental conditions over time ensuring a permanence and color quality without sacrificing fluidity.
