The Chromatic Scale - Vector Art

Produktbeschreibung

Chromatic scale of colours arranged as a chart. Inspired by Sowerby's accompanying text provides a nomenclature for 63 colours divided into primaries of yellow, blue & red: with binary colours (blends of two primaries) & ternary colours (combinations of three primaries). James Sowerby considered this might be useful to artists & considered that in primary colours "Gamboge is most perfect yellow, used in water colours...Carmine, most perfect when good...Prussian, or Berlin blue, most perfect." Plate 5 from the monograph A new elucidation of colours, original prismatic, & material; showing their coincidence in three primitives, yellow, red & blue..., by James Sowerby (London in 1809).
