Limanskaya, L. Yu. M. V. Lomonosov’s Teaching about Light and Color
Within the Framework of Natural Philosophy and Art
Quests in Mid XVIII Century
Abstract:
Viewing art as a science, Mikhail Lomonosov included
his art theory of light and color in the sphere of
academic inquiries. As a researcher and a naturalist, he
assumed that the more mysteries of Nature our mind can
understand, ‘the happier we feel at heart...’. Based on the
laws of optics, Mikhail Lomonosov created his trichromatic
theory of vision that precedes Hemlhotz’s findings. He
used achievements in optics for creating colored glass in
the process of mosaic making. In addition to scientific findings,
Lomonosov also viewed the theory of color vision as
a way to get closer to the deepest mysteries of the Heavens
and art in genera as the mean of expressing the knowledge
that praises God through images.
Keywords:
art history, Mikhail Lomonosov, natural philosophy, Isaac Newton, Hermann von Helmholtz, color, paint, mosaic, trichomatic vision.
