Green : a history of a color / Michel Pastoureau ; translated by Jody Gladding

by Michel Pastoureau, Jody Gladding

This history traces the cultural significance of the colour green in European societies from prehistory to the present. It examines shifting perceptions in art, science, and religion, following its evolution from an unstable pigment to a modern symbol of nature.
