Have you ever wondered how artists of old came to achieving a certain quality of illumination in their works of art?
The Colour of Money has the subtitle 'Florentine Altarpieces in the Trecento' because both Florence and the 1300's are significant.
A period in time between Medieval and the Renaissance, this book shows you how and why gold is more than money or jewellery.

Money has an intrinsic value, which when applied to art forms brings certain truths to light.
Gold.. in trade, private wealth and visual art practices allowed a flowing of creativity in the focus period,
albeit with pressures and misfortunes of economic regulation, revolt and Black Death.
