Colors are electromagnetic radiation reflected from surfa- ces hit by light that through the eyes, involve the nervous system and are converted by the brain into real and concrete sensations. The history of the colors' sources is lost in the mists of time. Those based on mineral substances have been used since prehistoric times: chalk, ochre, in various shades from light red to light yellow. Cave paintings of the Upper Paleolithic show black colors obtained from manganese dioxide or charcoal, more rarely green earths and brown manganese oxide and exceptionally manganese violet as well.
Starting from the Neolithic, the range of minerals used for painting and ceramics expands, and various vegetable or animal-based stains are created for dyeing fabrics, such as madder red, indigo blue, woad blue, mignonette yellow.
The Egyptians were the first to devote an effort to the pain- ting colors preparation. The “Egyptian frit" or “Egyptian blue", obtained by baking a precise mixture of lime, copper oxide and quartz in a kiln at 800-900 degrees, and subsequent grinding, starting from minerals such as limestone, malachite and sand, is the oldest synthetic pigment. Another synthe- tic pigment is lead antimoniate, known since the sevente- enth century as “Naples yellow", produced as lead oxide or carbonate and antimony oxide, resulted by inerals transfor- mation. Some pigments created about 4000-5000 years ago have been fundamental colors until 1700-1800. Among these, white lead was a fundamental pigment in painting until the end of the 19th century.
The pigments used in the Middle Ages were inherited from antiquity. Minium and cinnabar are the two basic colors of the early Middle Ages (just think of miniatures), together with gold leaf, obtained simply by coins striking. In the same period a new pigment appears, ultramarine blue, produced from lapis lazuli blue, imported from far away Afghanistan, which is added to the azurite that was used before; the fusion of these pigments allows the production of different shades according to the grinding degrees.
Medieval painters made extensive use of organic substan- ces: indigo blue and woad blue dyes to which they added litmus crimson lake and red lake.
Red is the first color of the rainbow and is also consi- dered to be the first color that children perceive. Red is strength, it is power and fullness, it is the color for people who take life with both hands, it is a color for people who do not hide, it is the alchemi- cal color of transformation, it is the color of heated metal that changes shape and becomes something new in the hands of artists and alchemists.
The most important shades of red for the painter's palette are cadmium red, vermilion or cinnabar, madder carmine and the various red lakes.
Madder Red or Rosso Tinctorum is a color pigment resulted from the root of madder: it is dried, crushed and boiled in a weak acid, so that the dye is dissol- ved, then the extract is fermented.
The extraction of Vermilion Red (Cinnabar) is quite complex. It is a mercury sulfide already formed in the natural state. It can be obtained by pulverizing yellow sulfur and adding half its specific weight of mercury; this compound is mixed carefully and poured into an earthenware pot that can withstand high temperatures.
It is essential that the container is well sealed to prevent the sublimation vapors from escaping, as they are toxic. Once a high temperature is reached, small crackling sounds will be heard; this indicates that the mercury is mixing with the boiling sulfur.
The pigment thus obtained, once cooled, will be very brittle and can be pulverized.

Presentation
Davide Vinattieri, aka VIDA', Tuscan painter, intuitive, self-taught.
The art of VIDA' is expressed through a personal search for color..
Every element found in nature is for the artist an inspiration source and raw material to dig out a multitude of colors and unexplored shades to rele- ase on the wood.
Following the ancient experience of natural color extraction, VIDA' reco- gnizes himself in the abstract expressio- nism techniques: the artist paints hori- zontally without a preliminary composi- tional design, letting himself be carried away by his soul's deep impulses.
This is how VIDA's paintings are crea- ted, as chromatic storms and tumul- tuous interior expression, with the no frame limit, not conceived according to the view beyond the “window", indeed with total continuity beyond those limits.
VIDA' is an alchemist painter, intere- sted in the transmutation of metals and minerals he searches for in Tuscany and finds in the world: malachite, green that gets effervescent when in contact with hydrochloric acid; cinnabar, vermilion red generated by the fusion of sulphur and mercury; azurite, the result of the altera- tion of sulphurous copper deposits from which a crystalline blue springs; orpiment, intense yellow that comes from hydrother- mal genesis and cold volcanic springs.
And then the white lead from which he extracts white or the carbonized peach stones that transform into black.
Nature offers itself to VIDA' in its primor- dial state and he transforms it by making colour!
Over 130 colours have been discove- red and classified by Vidà, all of them extracted from pigments present in nature.
