A new series of small, exquisite hardbacks from London’s National Gallery, in which its unrivalled collection is explored through a variety of appealing themes
The evocative power of colour is central to the ways in which art appeals to our senses, emotions and imaginations. This book tells the vibrant story of colour from dazzling gold to cobalt blue, highlighting developments such as the use of rare pigments in medieval altarpieces and the invention of the paint tube that enabled Impressionist artists to work outdoors.
