Paul Hills, a former Senior Lecturer at Warwick University and Italian Renaissance specialist, has created a comprehensive text on the rich colors of Venice. Architecture, marbles, mosaics, glass, dress, and paintings are all discussed to demonstrate the significance of color. Hills explores “for the first time Venetian colour in relation to social, cultural and environmental forces…He argues that Venetian colour–in buildings, table glass and dress as well as paintings–was the product of a lagoon site and a mercantile culture.”
