Secondary and tertiary colours arise through progressive superimposition. Meanings were allocated to the colours: hot (red) and cold (blue) stand opposite one another; likewise advancing and retiring. George Field also saw a connection between colour and sound, and so draws our attention to one of the stumbling blocks of the era: namely, an understanding of the carrier medium of light. The colour-circle appeared in 1846 in Chromatics, of the Analogy, Harmony and Philosophy of Colours, London 1846.); Photo: © Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Armorial bookplate of George Field, a pioneering chemist and author of 'Chromatics, or, An essay on the analogy and harmony of colours', published in 1817. In this intricate design, Field constructed a color circle using the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue to explore the relationships between different hues.
Field's work was revolutionary for its time as he sought to challenge Sir Isaac Newton's theories on color by assigning meanings to each shade - from hot (red) to cold (blue), advancing to retiring. He believed that secondary and tertiary colors could be created through layering these basic hues.
Not only did Field delve into the visual aspects of color theory but he also drew connections between colors and sound, highlighting the complexities of light as a carrier medium during his era. His groundbreaking ideas were further elaborated upon in his later publication 'Chromatics, or The Analogy, Harmony and Philosophy of Colours' in 1846.
This stunning image captures not just an emblematic representation of George Field's work but also serves as a testament to his innovative approach towards understanding the intricacies of color harmonies. It is truly a masterpiece that continues to inspire artists and scientists alike.
