The bright, alluring substance known as copper aceto-arsenite is a highly toxic powder that was once used to exterminate rats in Parisian sewers (hence its colloquial name, Paris green). As a pigment, it was prized by impressionist and post-impressionist painters, including van Gogh. His 1888 self-portrait dedicated to Paul Gauguin — another emerald green enthusiast — made ample use of the color, and is part of the Fogg Museum’s collection.
