Naples Yellow 

Editor: Here we have "Naples Yellow," created by J.D. Pemberthy. It's, well, a jar of pigment and a painted card. I find it interesting that it's a manufactured color sample. What do you make of this? Curator: It’s like a little alchemical secret, isn’t it? To think that this specific yellow, this "Naples Yellow," was so coveted that it became a commodity. I imagine artists carefully grinding and mixing it, searching for that perfect sun-kissed hue. Editor: So, it's not just yellow; it's a specific, almost magical yellow. Curator: Exactly! It’s a story of color, commerce, and the artist’s eternal quest for capturing the world around them. It makes you wonder what stories are hidden in other colours!
