Pozzuoli Earth Red is an exceptionally warm orange-red earth colour perfect for richly coloured landscapes and earthy botanicals.

Paint Maker’s Notes: This red earth pigment is sourced from iron ore deposits near Pozzuoli, Italy. During the Renaissance, earth pigments became important to artists, and red earths found near Pozzuoli were considered some of the best available.
