This book describes the international effort to give order to
colours and thus facilitate communication about it, two topics
deemed essential to a modernising world that were also recognizably
complex. Expert essays will enhance readers' understanding of the
struggle to coordinate nature with art at a time when approaches to
both were undergoing rapid change. Ordering Colours shows how such
seemingly trivial concerns as identifying the basic colours and
disseminating appropriate colour diagrams had to meet
philosophical, scientific and professional needs across Europe.
Contributors detail the many schemes for colour systematization and
their real-world applications; questions of concern to both
academic- and manufacturing-focused investigators throughout the
long 18th century. They bring together original research and new
thinking about landmark early modern studies to address important
developments as well as neglected historical contributions of
European arts, sciences, and economies. This collection is an
important addition to the libraries of all who are interested in
public culture and manufacturing developments in the early modern
period and is aimed at historians of art, technology, philosophy
and physics.
