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

by Michel Pastoureau, Jody Gladding

This illustrated history traces the cultural and visual evolution of the colour red from antiquity to the present day. It explores shifting perceptions of the hue through art and society, from its early associations with power to its later religious and political meanings.
