The colour green has been used throughout the ages in art, dating back to ancient history when ancient Egyptians would use the pigment in their tomb paintings. Because of its obvious connections with nature and plant life, green has come to symbolise ideas of regeneration, life and healing, and is often considered to have a calming effect. Ironically, however, green pigments have historically been some of the most deadly and toxic to work with, and it is suspected that this may have contributed to Monet’s eventual blindness.
Despite the associated risks, there is no shortage of green art from any time period. One of the most famous and iconic examples of this is Jan van Eyck’s The Arnolfini Portrait, a depiction of a wealthy couple and their pet dog. The woman is dressed in a long green gown, an incredibly expensive dye at the time, indicating her wealth and social standing.
