Blue is an amazing color. During the Renaissance, blue was incredibly expensive. Michelangelo
couldn’t even afford to buy his own supply of ultramarine blue. According to Victoria Finlay in her amazing
book Color, he was unable to finish an alter piece without the color
which he needed for the Virgin’s robes. The painting was never completed because Michelangelo ran out of time,
waiting for a wealthy patron to come up with the money for the coveted
color. At that time, and to this day for
fine art paints, that particular color blue is made from the mineral Lapis
Lazuli, mined primarily in Afghanistan. The mineral was very difficult to come by, making the color extremely valuable. Makes you rethink what it means to be blue.
