Egyptian blue, ultramarine blue, red ochre, lead white. These are just some of the <strong>pigments<\/strong> used historically for the set of compositions that we usually classify as graphic art. But perhaps not everyone knows where they come from and how these colours have been created over the centuries, gradually grinding minerals, kneading and fixing them to create some of civilisation&#8217;s greatest masterpieces. And hardly anyone knows how they are analysed today in chemistry, mineralogy, geology, sometimes even resorting to the \u201cmysteries\u201d of quantum mechanics. This is why, in collaboration with scientists from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unipg.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>University of Perugia<\/strong><\/a>, we decided to turn to Leonardo Da Vinci and <em>Peruginetto<\/em> (perhaps the cousin of the more famous Perugino?) to learn more about the mysteries of the materials they used in their compositions.
