Description
As new, artificial dyes were created in the second half of the nineteenth century, a longing for faded, ancient hues emerged in artistic circles. This collection focuses on the complex reception of the colours of the past in the works of major Victorian writers and artists, exploring the multiple facets of their chromatic nostalgia.
