Ten 17^th century writers described the pigments in use in their countries – England, Sweden, Flanders, France, Spain, and Italy. The theme of their treatises was studio practice and the pigments were discussed as they were set on the palette. Surprisingly, the method was the same – from light to dark, white to black. The 17^th century palette was an international palette comprising just over 100 pigments.

This book will be of interest to art historians, collectors, students, conservators, and museum-goers.
