Clear, deep and luminescent yellow
pigment. Indian yellow, magnesium
euxanthate, used since ancient times
in the Far East, was used by European
artist painters in both oil paints and
watercolors from the 15th to the 19th
century.
It was likely first used by Dutch artists,
and before the end of 18th century it
was commonly used by artists across
Europe.
It’s origin was unknown until an
investigation in the year 1883 which
discovered that indian yellow pigment
was manufactured in rural India from
the urine of cattle fed only on mango
leaves and water. Banned in England in
19th Century
