Colour Revolution: Victorian Art, Fashion & Design Explore the vibrant colours of Victorian Britain, where the Industrial Revolution transformed the nation's perception of colour. Contrary to the traditional mourning dresses and dark streets of the time, Victorian Britain was a period of new and vivid colours. This catalogue from the Ashmolean Museum charts the Victorians' new attitudes to colour through a multi-disciplinary exploration of culture, technology, art and literature. Discover how Victorian artists and writers responded to the changing status of colour, drawing inspiration from the sacred colours of the past, the sumptuous colours of the Middle East and Japan, and the decadent colours of the late 19th century. The catalogue reveals key 'chromatic' moments that shaped the Victorians' understanding of colour and its role in modern life. Through a rich and varied exploration of colour in Victorian art, fashion and design, this catalogue offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating period in history.
