Miniare

Miniare

…Cinnabar, which is produced in the Iberian Peninsula, was already used by the Greeks and Romans in ancient times, and produced a unique, rich red color called "minus" or "minium" because it was mainly found on the banks of the River Minius (now the Minho). Painting with this minus was called "miniare," and this technique was widely used in medieval manuscript decoration, eventually establishing the genre of miniature. The brilliance of the colors in mosaics and stained glass is largely due to the material glass, and in dyed and woven items such as Japanese Yuzen, Okinawan Bingata, Western Gobelins, and Persian carpets, the effect of color is inseparably linked to the texture of the materials such as silk, cotton, and wool. …
