Here is an article I enjoyed

https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/whats-the-deal-with-verdigris-a-brief-history-of-a-very-old-color-199569

it’s about green tho

Well kind of

neat article. theres a lot of like

pigments made from the coatings different metals get

Yes

i remember studying about that

It’s amazing

the iron one is pretty like th kinda orangey iron on the side of a river

Visual records and measurements of age

that too

hard to fake

imagine being a timetraveller

who uses how green the statue of liberty is

to tell what year it is

ooo

or an artist who is also a chemist

And forges Mona Lisa’s

that would be tricky. but maybe possible 🤔

some guy was doing it

he made billionnns

but was caught

to chemically resynthesize the whole set of chemicals in the painting. arranging them would be tricky tho

in the exact form of the og painting

let alone it looking

anything like the og

it can be done

damn

but not by normal humans

O.o

This is the .001%

lol

o

and then they get caught

Lol

probably fun tho

reminds me of a quote i saw

in this thing i read about like the

physics of the attempts to make gravity propelled disk type craft

during and after the second world war and still to today
