Bright Earth introduces Western art history from the perspective of chemistry, explaining the process of inventing and improving colors of various periods, regions and types. It shows us the charming attributes of color’s material properties. And, it provides a unique perspective on Western art history. Throughout this process, science, art and culture interacted with each other and cooperated in their evolution. The demand from art stimulated the development of chemical technology. At the same time, science expanded both the color spectrum of paintings and social life itself.
