More about the book

Exploring Renaissance colour symbolism, this book presents original texts and English translations of two significant works: Telesio's extensive lexicon of Latin colour terminology and Morato's comprehensive digest of colour meanings. Published in the 16th century, these texts are pivotal in the study of colour, marking them as early printed works in Europe on the subject. Authored by Roy Osborne, an esteemed artist and historian, the book offers valuable insights into the historical context and interpretations of colour in art and culture.
