The image is a detailed chart titled "Etruscan Palette," which describes the types of pigments used in paintings from the Tomba del Triclinio (480-470 B.C.) and the Tomba del Letto Funebre (470-460 B.C.) at Tarquinia. The chart explains the preparation methods and sources of different colors used in Etruscan frescos. It includes blocks of each color alongside descriptions of their composition:

1. Yellow:

   • Pigment: Naturally occurring ochre or clay.
   • Composition: Hydrated form of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃·H₂O).

2. Golden Yellow:

   • Pigment: One of several naturally occurring ochres.
   • Notes: The color could vary from golden to reddish hues obtained by heating or calcining the natural ochre.

3. Light Red:

   • Pigment: Naturally occurring ochre or clay.
   • Composition: Anhydrous iron oxide (Fe₂O₃).

4. Dark Red:

   • Pigment: Naturally occurring ochre or clay.
   • Composition: Anhydrous iron oxide (Fe₂O₃).
   • Notes: This color might have been obtained by heating or calcining the light red hue.

5. Blue:

   • Pigment: Artificial (CuO·CeO₂·4SiO₂).
   • Production: Made by fusing copper, calcium, and silica into a glass and then grinding it into a powder.
   • Notes: Likely imported from Egypt.

6. Green:

   • Pigment: Mixture of malachite and Egyptian blue.
   • Composition: Copper carbonate (CuCO₃·Cu(OH)₂) and other compounds.

7. Black:

   • Pigment: Soot or lamp black.
   • Composition: Nearly pure amorphous carbon.

The chart also includes a description of the fresco technique used, involving a base coat of lime plaster approximately one-eighth to one-quarter inch thick applied to walls and ceilings, over which the pigments were painted.

The image shows a collection of color samples labeled as the "Etruscan Palette." These color samples are accompanied by explanations referring to the source and composition of each pigment, which are presumably used in the paintings in the Tomba del Triclinio (470-460 B.C.) and in the Tomba del Letto Funebre (470-460 B.C.) at Tarquinia.

Each color block is labeled with a color name and a description:

• YELLOW: Described as a naturally occurring ochre or clay that gets its color from the hydrated form of iron oxide (Fe2O3·H2O).
• GOLDEN YELLOW: Highlighted as one of several yellows in the paintings, which could vary from golden to reddish. These could be natural ochres but modified by heating or calcining to change the intensity and hue.
• LIGHT RED: This refers to a naturally occurring ochre or clay with its color from an anhydrous iron oxide (Fe2O3).
• DARK RED: Similar to light red, this hue comes from an anhydrous iron oxide and could have been obtained by heating or calcining the lighter red color.
• BLUE: Described as an artificial pigment made by fusing together copper, calcium, and silica into a glass which was then ground into powder. It is noted that this pigment was probably imported from Egypt.
• GREEN: A mixture of malachite, a naturally occurring basic copper carbonate, and Egyptian blue.
• BLACK: Mentioned as likely soot or lamp black, nearly pure amorphous carbon.

The image shows an Etruscan palette describing the paintings found in the Tomba del Triclinio (480-470 B.C.) and in the Tomba del Letto Funebre (470-460 B.C.) in Tarquinia.

The palette shows color swatches and descriptions for yellow, golden yellow, light red, dark red, blue, green, and black pigments used in the paintings.

The yellow is described as a naturally occurring ochre or clay. The golden yellow uses several yellow pigments to create a richer hue. Light red is also an ochre or clay, while dark red is a similar pigment that could have been obtained by gently heating or oxidizing the light red.

Blue is an artificial pigment made by fusing copper, calcium and silica into a glass. Green is a mixture of malachite and Egyptian blue pigments.

Finally, black is described as an apparently soot or lamp black pigment from amorphous carbon.

The image presents a color palette of Etruscan paintings, showcasing eight distinct colors with their corresponding descriptions. The palette is divided into two sections: the top section features a brief introduction to the Etruscan palette, while the bottom section displays the color swatches accompanied by detailed descriptions of each color.

Color Palette:

• Yellow: A naturally occurring ochre or clay that owes its color to a hydrated form of iron oxide (Fe2O3·H2O).
• Golden Yellow: One of the several yellows in the paintings, which have a golden and sometimes reddish hue. These colors could be various naturally occurring ochres, but their varying hues could, however, have been obtained by gently heating or calcining the natural ochre to various degrees.
• Light Red: A naturally occurring ochre or clay that owes its color to an anhydrous iron oxide (Fe2O3).
• Dark Red: A naturally occurring ochre or clay that owes its color to an anhydrous iron oxide (Fe2O3). This color, however, could have been obtained by gently heating or calcining the light red color.
• Blue: An artificial pigment (CuCoO4SiO2) made by fusing together copper, calcium, and silica into a glass which was then ground into a powder. This pigment was probably imported from Egypt.
• Green: A mixture of malachite, a naturally occurring basic copper carbonate (CuCO3·Cu(OH)2) and Egyptian blue.
• Black: Apparently soot or lamp black—nearly pure amorphous carbon.

The color palette provides a comprehensive overview of the Etruscan painting techniques, highlighting the use of natural materials and the process of creating different shades and hues.

Here's a description of the image:

The image presents a color palette titled "Etruscan Palette," sourced from paintings in the Tomba del Triclinio (480-470 B.C.) and the Tomba del Letto Funebre (470-460 B.C.) at Tarquinia. It showcases a range of colors used in the paintings along with descriptions of their composition and origin.

The palette is organized vertically with rectangular color swatches displayed on the left side and text descriptions to the right. The image lists the following colors, and provides a brief description of the origin of their pigments:

Yellow: A naturally occurring ochre or clay colored by a hydrated form of iron oxide (Fe2O3·H2O).

Golden Yellow: One of the yellow variations in the paintings, sometimes with a reddish hue. These colors could be naturally occurring ochres, or obtained by heating or calcining natural ochre.

Light Red: A naturally occurring ochre or clay colored by anhydrous iron oxide (Fe2O3).

Dark Red: A naturally occurring ochre or clay colored by anhydrous iron oxide (Fe2O3), possibly obtained by heating or calcining light red ochre.

Blue: An artificial pigment (CuO·CaO·4SiO2) created by fusing copper, calcium, and silica into a glass, then grinding it into a powder. This pigment was likely imported from Egypt.

Green: A mixture of malachite (a naturally occurring basic copper carbonate (CuCO3·Cu(OH)2)) and Egyptian blue.

Black: Apparently soot or lamp black, nearly pure amorphous carbon.

At the beginning, the text describes the painting support: "The paintings are done on a thin cost of lime plaster about one eighth to one quarter of an inch in thickness. The plaster is half lime cerbonate (made from the limestone in which the tombs were cut) and half send. When the plaster was dry a thin coat of fine whitewash (lime carbonate) was first applied to the walls and ceilings. Its purpose was, presumably, to provide a whiter, smoother, and more satisfactory surface then the more porous olaster."
