Introduction to this classic colour from Matisse:

Venetian Red is a pure iron oxide with real wow factor. It gets its name because the natural iron oxide deposits inland from Venice were this color which was midway between the deeper violet iron oxides found near Pozzuoli and the common red oxides found elsewhere. It has the unusual property of having a relatively warm mass tone and a comparatively cool undertone and this makes it perfect for making pinks of great character.
