Lectures on the history and principles of painting

Phillips, Thomas, 1770-1845 · 1833 · London : Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longman · 1 picture

Thomas Phillips, a London painter, published these 1833 lectures on painting through Longman and partners for students and artists. The single plate is a colour circle divided into labelled hues, with concentric rings marked 5 to 25 around a central triangle diagram. A designer could take from it a historic way of arranging colour wheels with graded tonal rings for planning palettes.
