I highly recommend the novel "Making Colour" exhibition at the National Gallery in addition to volition last giving it a amount review real soon - i time I've finished move for the layouts for my book.
Those interested inwards the history of the evolution of colours in addition to how color changes over fourth dimension volition discovery it absolutely fascinating. So if you're non "all well-nigh the art" in addition to accept about room for the scientific discipline equally good I recommend you lot pay a see if you lot can.
One motion-picture exhibit inwards item grabbed my attending - because I learned something completely novel to me - in addition to this is it.
Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) was Dutch notwithstanding life painter who specialised inwards the icon of flowers. So naturally, I was gravitating towards this icon earlier I realised why it was inwards the exhibition!
The icon is inwards the exhibition to highlight the rootage in addition to components of a natural orangish pigment called Realgar.
One of the themes of the exhibition is the identification of colours - such equally majestic in addition to orangish - which were typically created using mixes of other pigments because at that topographic point was either no naturally occurring mineral of that color or it was hard to obtain.
In the illustration of Realgar, it is i of the few sources of a natural orangish pigment. However it contains arsenic, which way that those real prissy orangish twenty-four hours lilies were genuinely painted amongst a poisonous substance in addition to are highly toxic!
The fact that this rather prissy orangish pigment was toxic meant is wasn't used real much - although it tin last seen inwards Venetian paintings in addition to about Dutch bloom paintings. Its purpose inwards icon died out inwards the 18th century.
