Bice Parisi
Bice, from the French ''bis'', originally meaning dark-coloured, is a green or blue pigment. In French the terms ''vert bis'' and ''azur bis'' mean dark green and dark blue respectively. Bice pigments were generally prepared from basic copper carbonates, but sometimes ultramarine or other pigments were used. Historic usage In 1522 a stone cross with gilt lead stars was erected at the Bullstake in Canterbury, and painted with bice and gilded by Florence the painter. The bice cost 6 shillings the pound. Jo Kirby of the National Gallery London notes the occurrence of the pigment ''bice'' in three grades in an account of Tudor painting at Greenwich Palace in 1527. In this case, the three grades indicate the use of the mineral azurite rather than a manufactured blue copper carbonate. Similarly, ''green bice'' in other 16th-records may sometimes have been the mineral malachite. Ian Bristow, a historian of paint, concluded that the pigment ''blue bice'' found in records of British inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
