It was also found in ancient Greece (in Corinth), and in Italy in the Baths of Titus and the ruins of Pompeii.
Cloth dyed with madder root dye was found in the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun and on an Egyptian tomb painting from the Graeco-Roman period, diluted with gypsum to produce a pink color. Madder has been cultivated as a dyestuff since antiquity in Central Asia, South Asia, and Egypt, where it was grown as early as 1500 BC. As a paint, it has been described as a fugitive, transparent, nonstaining, mid valued, moderately dull violet red pigment in tints and medium solutions, darkening to an impermanent, dull magenta red in masstone. Madder lake contains two organic red dyes: alizarin and purpurin.
Rose madder (also known as madder) is a red paint made from the pigment madder lake, a traditional lake pigment extracted from the common madder plant Rubia tinctorum. For Rosie to survive, for her to have a chance in her brave new world, she must enter her own myth - a world that lies beyond the surface of a work of art - and become a woman she never knew she could be: Rose Madder.Rubia tinctorum, from whose root the colour is extracted
Rose-maddened and on the rampage, Norman Daniels becomes a force of relentless terror and savageness, a man almost mythic in his monstrosity. The fact that he's losing his mind might even be an advantage. Her husband is a cop, with the instincts of a predator. Still, it's hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder, and with good reason. It may be bad art but it's perfect for her new apartment - and somehow, it seems to want her as much as she wants it. Meeting Bill Steiner is one and finding a junk-shop painting is another. Alone in a strange city, she begins to make a new life, and good things start to happen. She uses her husband's ATM card to buy a bus ticket, determined to lose herself in a place where Norman won't find her. Roused by a single drop of blood on the bedsheet, Rosie Daniels wakes from fourteen years of a nightmare marriage and suddenly takes flight.
