A Cultural History of Color in the Renaissance covers the period
1400 to 1650, a time of change, conflict, and transformation.
Innovations in color production transformed the material world of
the Renaissance, especially in ceramics, cloth, and paint.
Collectors across Europe prized colorful objects such as feathers
and gemstones as material illustrations of foreign lands. The
advances in technology and the increasing global circulation of
colors led to new color terms enriching language. Color shapes an
individual's experience of the world and also how society gives
particular spaces, objects, and moments meaning. The 6 volume set
of the Cultural History of Color examines how color has been
created, traded, used, and interpreted over the last 5000 years.
The themes covered in each volume are color philosophy and science;
color technology and trade; power and identity; religion and
ritual; body and clothing; language and psychology; literature and
the performing arts; art; architecture and interiors; and
artefacts. Amy Buono is Assistant Professor at the Wilkinson
College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at Chapman
University , USA. Sven Dupre is Professor of History of Art,
Science and Technology at Utrecht University and the University of
Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Volume 3 in the Cultural History of
Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf
