Colour

‘Making Colour’ is the first exhibition of its kind in Britain. Each room will be dedicated to a particular colour from the spectrum, as well as a room devoted to gold and silver. ‘Making Colour’ will draw on the expertise of the National Gallery’s scientific department and the spectacular range of paintings in the Collection. The exhibition will help visitors to understand the history of the use of colour over a 700 year period – from the early Renaissance to the Impressionist movement. Visitors will explore the origins and developments of the physical materials themselves, from natural and mineral products to manufactured pigments. The exhibition also examines the material problems faced by artists in achieving their painterly aims; the breakthroughs they struggled for and the technical challenges they faced.
