Evidence of Cochineal’s Use in Painting

Abstract

The organic red dye known as cochineal has played a number of key roles in history, most important as a superb colorant for animal-based textiles, especially silks and woolens, with a great range of hues and shades from purple to coral. Coveted for more than two millennia, its reach ultimately extended over the globe, providing handsome revenues wherever it was traded.
