I highly recommend the novel "Making Colour" exhibition at the National Gallery as well as volition last giving it a sum review real presently - i time I've finished move for the layouts for my book.
Those interested inwards the history of the evolution of colours as well as how color changes over fourth dimension volition uncovering it absolutely fascinating. So if you're non "all nearly the art" as well as bring roughly room for the scientific discipline every bit good I recommend y'all pay a see if y'all can.
One pic inwards detail grabbed my attending - because I learned something completely novel to me - as well as this is it.
Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) was Dutch notwithstanding life painter who specialised inwards the paradigm of flowers. So naturally, I was gravitating towards this paradigm earlier I realised why it was inwards the exhibition!
The paradigm is inwards the exhibition to highlight the rootage as well as components of a natural orangish pigment called Realgar.
One of the themes of the exhibition is the identification of colours - such every bit imperial as well as orangish - which were typically created using mixes of other pigments because in that place was either no naturally occurring mineral of that color or it was hard to obtain.
In the representative of Realgar, it is i of the few sources of a natural orangish pigment. However it contains arsenic, which way that those real dainty orangish 24-hour interval lilies were genuinely painted alongside a toxicant as well as are highly toxic!
The fact that this rather dainty orangish pigment was toxic meant is wasn't used real much - although it tin last seen inwards Venetian paintings as well as roughly Dutch blossom paintings. Its role inwards paradigm died out inwards the 18th century.

Realgar is a highly toxic arsenic sulfide as well as was the alone pure orangish pigment until modern chrome orange.Realgar is made of arsenic as well as sulphur as well as is too known every bit "ruby of arsenic". Its to a greater extent than mutual role is inwards rat poison.
