Alizarine

 Alizarine is the artificial form of madder lake, developed in 1869, it was  the first natural pigment duplicated artificially

Alizarine, also known as artificial madder lake, is a synthetic pigment first reproduced in 1869, becoming the earliest natural dye to be industrially duplicated.
Originating from the centuries-old tradition of madder-derived pigments, alizarin—which occurs naturally in the roots of Rubia tinctorum—crafted vivid reds in ancient textiles and artworks
The breakthrough by German chemists Carl Gräbe and Carl Liebermann enabled affordable and consistent production of this brilliant red pigment, transforming artistic materials and textile industries alike.
Alizarine delivers a deep, transparent crimson shade prized in painting and textiles.

Alizarin was the first natural dye to be successfully synthesized; this synthetic version perfectly replicated the color properties of natural madder lake, but with far greater consistency, availability, and lower cost. Artificial alizarin quickly replaced plant-derived madder in textile dyeing, printing, and artist pigments. In the art world, it offered a brilliant, transparent red ideal for glazes and subtle color mixing.
