Abstract

Artists' colors have been intertwined with chemistry from antiquity, both in the extraction of them from raw materials and their production by the 'manufacturing chemists' of their day. In our own time, not only has chemistry made possible the enormous expension of the artist's palette, but also has provided methods to study it scientifically with a view to restoration, preservation, authentication, and understanding of works of art.
