Art History Lecture:
The Heroes and Villains of Colour – Pigments from Earth to Alchemy

An illustrated talk inviting you to enter the world of colour in art and culture.

Taking you on a journey through history and the colour spectrum, you will encounter a palette of animal, vegetable and mineral pigments, exploring the stories of the benign and the deadly.

You will hear the dark stories of bright pigments, understand the symbolism and language of colour and view some of these pigments in their natural form.

After a tea break we will return for questions and sharing our ideas.
