What is the meaning of the color Verdigris?
Named from the Old French vert de Grece, meaning green of Greece, the word entered English by the 14th century to describe the blue-green crust that forms naturally on copper and bronze when exposed to air and moisture. This oxidized patina covered ancient Greek and Roman statues and became a pigment used by European painters through the Renaissance, documented in Cennino Cennini’s Il Libro dell’Arte around 1400. It was one of the few stable green pigments available to artists before synthetic alternatives emerged in the 19th century. The Statue of Liberty, made of copper and unveiled in 1886, is among the most recognized examples of the color in its natural form.
