MODERN FLAKE-WHITE. “A traditional lead based white, it is steeped in painting history. Evidence for its use can be found in all the oldest civilisations: as a cosmetic in 400BC Athens, by the Ancient Egyptians and back to the earliest Chinese paintings. Considered one of the earliest pigments, it is basic lead carbonate with zinc oxide and was the only widely available white pigment for artists until the emergence of others in the 19th century.”
