why did renaissance painters prefer the pigment

Renaissance painters preferred various pigments due to their quest for vivid, lasting colors that could more accurately mimic nature and enhance realism in their artworks. The era's technological advancements and increased trade brought pigments like ultramarine, made from lapis lazuli, and vermilion. Ultramarine was highly prized for its brilliant blue, symbolizing purity and used for the Virgin Mary's robes, but it was also incredibly expensive, leading artists to seek patronage from the wealthy. Vermilion offered a vibrant red, derived from cinnabar, and was used for its striking visual impact. Pigments were also chosen based on their durability and resistance to fading, ensuring the longevity of the art. This period marked a transition from tempera to oil painting, which allowed for a broader palette, deeper color saturation, and new techniques like sfumato and chiaroscuro, further influencing pigment choice to achieve desired effects.
