Nature provides many different green minerals. The hues of these ground minerals range from green to greenish gray. In general, the coloring effect of these powders is caused by iron-II-silicates. In case of Verona Green Earth, the color is a result of the mineral celadonite. In contrast to the frequently occurring ochers, green earths are rare and hard to procure. Verona Green Earth can be found in the mountains north of Verona, its source being well-known since antiquity. However, the bluish, best quality of Verona is no longer available due to the landslide following the earthquake in 1922. The qualities accessible today, which lack the distinctive blue tint, are similar to the historical middle qualities. Verona Green Earth is a relatively warm greyish or olive green. For centuries, the pigment played an important role in painting. In the 14th century, it was often used as underpaint for the depiction of skin to contrast it with the warm flesh colors. For the same reason, the painter Lovis Corinth recommended its use for the shadow areas in portraits. Verona Green Earth was also indispensible in landscape painting, especially when applied as a glaze.
