Title: Venetian colour
Description: "Italian Renaissance art historian Paul Hills shows how, between 1250 and 1550, the city of Venice and the luxuries manufactured and traded there prompted particular ways of attending to colour. He argues that Venetian colour - in buildings, table glass and dress as well as painting - was the product of a lagoon site and a mercantile culture."--Jacket.
