EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases "Tab 2, A new elucidation of colours, original, prismatic, and material: showing their concordance in three primitives, yellow, red, and blue". The image captures the essence of James Sowerby's groundbreaking work from 1809. Handcolored with meticulous precision, this engraving highlights the beauty and complexity of color theory. In this mesmerizing piece of artistry, Sir Isaac Newton's accuracy is questioned as Sowerby delves into the means of producing, measuring, and mixing colors. The vibrant hues of yellow, red, and blue serve as the primary focus on this tabular representation. Each shade harmoniously blends into one another to create a visual symphony that captivates viewers. The prismatic effect adds an ethereal touch to the composition. As light passes through each color spectrum represented by these three primaries—yellow being warm and inviting; red exuding passion and intensity; blue evoking tranquility—the result is a breathtaking display that transcends mere pigments. Sowerby's observations challenge conventional notions about colors while simultaneously paying homage to Newton's legacy. This print invites us to ponder upon our perception of colors in a fresh perspective—a testament to Sowerby's innovative approach. With its historical significance combined with artistic brilliance captured through handcoloring techniques dating back centuries ago—this print serves as a reminder that art can be both visually stunning and intellectually stimulating without any commercial intentions
