4 oz. W&N Artists' Oil Colors Cobalt Blue #178

 Maxfield Parrish, one of the greatest skyscape painters of all times, preferred the rich hues of cobalt oxide-aluminum oxide or Cobalt Blue, over the better known Aquamarine shades used by his contemporaries. As a result, the shade is sometimes referred to as Parrish blue.  It is also sometimes referred to as Dresden blue and Thénards blue.   Vincent van Gogh considered Cobalt Blue a “divine color”  and thought it the perfect hue for portraying the athosphere.
