'Prussian Blue solid color (#2f3a7f) by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/6482841). © Su Schaefer 2017 'Prussian blue,' discovered around 1706 by Diesbach and Dippel in Berlin, was called the first of the 'modern' pigments. Composed of complex iron cyanides (hence also called 'iron blues') it was used as an antidote to certain heavy metal poisonings (e.g., by thallium). 'Prussian blue: From the Great Wave to Starry Night, how a pigment changed the world' (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-21/prussian-blue-hokusai-great-wave-how-a-pigment-changed-the-world/8731732) by Hugh Davies (senior lecturer in media at La Trobe University, published by Australia's national broadcaster) is a fascinating article on its influence and use in artworks as diverse and separated in time and culture as Hokusai's 'Great Wave off Kanagawa' and Vincent van Gogh's 'The Starry Night'.
