This display presents a selection of drawings on blue paper from The Courtauld/wp-json/wp/v2/events/104518/u2019s collection, ranging from works by the Venetian Renaissance artist Jacopo Tintoretto to a watercolour by famed English Artist Joseph Mallord William Turner. /wp-json/wp/v2/events/104518/n Made from fibres derived from blue rags, blue paper first appeared in Northern Italy in the 14th century. It became a popular drawing support for artists, and its use spread across Western Europe by the late 16th century; it was widely used in England and France in the 18th century. Blue paper provided a nuanced mid-tone which allowed the creation of strong light and dark contrasts, an effect much sought after by draughtsmen. /wp-json/wp/v2/events/104518/n This exhibition project brought together a team of curators and paper conservators at The Courtauld and the J.
