In April we will plunge into the world of colour! 

 

The researchers from ChromAz - The Chromatic Journey of the Portuguese Azulejo will present some of the main goals of this multidisciplinary project, which aims to retrace the history of Portuguese azulejos through their colours, by studying their chromatic evolution and uncovering different production techniques. 

 

Which colours and hues characterized the azulejo's palette until the mid-18th century? Which pigments were used and how were they made? Do they differ from the ones used in coeval European tile productions? How did they change over time? Is it possible to address provenance and chronological issues based on pigment composition?

 

In this AzLab we will also get to know some of the results achieved during the project's first year. In short, this is a session you will not want to miss!

 

Registration via Google forms or by e-mail (redeazulejo@letras.ulisboa.pt).

Once the session is scheduled, each participant will receive the link and a password.
