The history of color (Dutch language)

This book is about the development of our understanding of color throughout history, from antiquity to the present, from Aristotle to Albers. In addition to a historical overview, it includes thematic essays that explore the use of color in various disciplines and sectors: religion, commerce, language, nature, well-being, food, printmaking, and music. Many illustrations come from the famous Colour Reference Library of the Royal College of Art, which includes six centuries and nearly two thousand titles, from a Gothic manuscript on the composition of the rainbow to hand-painted works from the Enlightenment on color theory and twentieth-century color charts.
