18th Century Colour Palette

18th Century Colour Palettes

A primary source of over 175 pigment names defined by four 18th century authors – two artists’ colourmen and two chemists, in England and in France. All their entries are included, usually in full, and the descriptions are of the pigments they found « in the shops, » sometimes based on scholarly publications of the time. This handbook of pigments is a basic resource on the 18th century arts of fine painting – in oil, fresco, minature, gouache, watercolour and pastel.
