Colors | Yellow

Claude Monet | Yellow Irises, 1917

Yellow is the color between orange and green on the spectrum of visible light.

It is evoked by light with a dominant wavelength of roughly 570-590 nm.

It is a primary color in subtractive color systems, used in painting or color printing.

In the RGB color model, used to create colors on television and computer screens, yellow is a secondary color made by combining red and green at equal intensity.

Carotenoids give the characteristic yellow color to autumn leaves, corn, canaries, daffodils, and lemons, as well as egg yolks, buttercups, and bananas.

They absorb light energy and protect plants from photodamage.

Sunlight has a slight yellowish hue when sun is near a horizon, due to atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths (green, blue, and violet).

Michał Świder

Michał Świder (1962-2019) è stato un pittore Polacco, diplomato all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Cracovia.

Le figure allegoriche dei suoi affreschi e delle sue tele si muovono con raffinata eleganza, sono leggermente idealizzati puri ed angelici.

Già al primo incontro con le sue opere uno è colpito dalla sua incredibile raffinatezza e metafisicità.

Tutto sembra essere immerso in una totale freddezza, ferma nell'incantesimo, nella meditazione, nel dolore.

Le figure allegoriche dei suoi affreschi e tele si muovono con eleganza raffinata, leggera e silenziosa. Sono leggermente idealizzate, pure e angeliche.

Volti: umani, angeli, androgeni e santi sono il riflesso dell'anima dell'uomo (artista), sono la sintesi lirica dei suoi sentimenti, degli stati d'animo, della considerazione e delle esperienze.

Cesare-Auguste Detti (Italian, 1847-1914)

His father, Davide Detti, was an engineer and an amateur painter. As a result, his early interest in art was encouraged.

In 1861, he made the acquaintance of Francesco Coghetti, a painter from Rome who was creating murals at the Teatro Nuovo (now known as the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti).
