Some paintings from the renaissance and beyond
Lapis lazuli, an expensive mineral in bygone days was used to form the Tutankhamun mask's eyebrows and makeup surrounding the eyes. The mineral came from the mountains of Badakhshan in Afghanistan.
In some paintings of the renaissance era, Lapis Lazuli mineral was grounded and used to make a blue hue. Not lapis, however, the blue brolly fabric is synthetic and similar in colour used as a background to some of the paintings below.
