When did gold become a colour? We journey from the majestic mosaics of the Byzantine era to the brilliantly burnished panel paintings of the early Renaissance to answer this very question.
Join Laura Llewellyn, National Gallery Curator of Italian Paintings before 1500, art historian, educator and author Ben Street and host Beks on this sparkling adventure as they explore how artists have created with gold and captured this glittering metal in paint.

La mujer se llama Andrea. Alza una rubia, un pez pargo, que sacó de las aguas junto a su esposo y su hijo pequeño. Es venezolana y tiene 22 años. Está en la portada de Gatopardo.
La Colectiva Solunar, integrada por Andrea Hernández Briceño, Lety Tovar y Freisy González, la conoció mientras desarrollaba su proyecto Luna de agua, una serie fotográfica que retrata los cambios en las dinámicas económicas y sociales de las costas venezolanas. Y es que, ante la incertidumbre social y económica que atraviesa el país sudamericano, cada vez son más las mujeres que asumen el oficio de la pesca, en un contexto marcado por el machismo y la misoginia.

Welcome back to 'Stories in Colour'! And welcome to the first episode of our new miniseries in which we'll be telling the story of a rare, sparkling and glistening colour – or should we say material?
Join Nelly von Aderkas from the National Gallery’s Scientific department and host Beks as they dive into the ancient origins of gold! From colliding supernovas to the tomb of Tutankhamun and the man with the Midas touch, we will be exploring the materiality of gold, where this precious metal comes from and its symbolism in art and literature.
Nelly is a Specialist Scientist and Organic Analyst at the National Gallery with a background in paintings conservation.
