The advent of micronized TiO2, also known as titanium dioxide, has revolutionized various industries, from paints and coatings to food coloring and sunscreen lotions. This ultra-fine version of TiO2 boasts enhanced properties such as improved brightness, greater pigment performance, and superior UV protection due to its increased surface area. As the demand for micronized TiO2 grows, factories around the globe have adapted their methodologies to cater to this specialized market.

Titanium oxide rutile, a naturally occurring mineral form of titanium dioxide (TiO2), is highly valued for its exceptional chemical stability, excellent refractive index, and remarkable ability to withstand high temperatures. These properties make it an indispensable material in various industries ranging from paints and coatings to advanced ceramics and even in solar cells. The demand for titanium oxide rutile has spurred the growth of numerous manufacturers dedicated to producing high-quality TiO2 products.

This article discusses the discovery of phosphorescent lithopone on watercolor drawings by American artist John La Farge dated between 1890 and 1905 and the history of lithopone in the pigment industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite having many desirable qualities for use in white watercolor or oil paints, the development of lithopone as an artists’ pigment was hampered by its tendency to darken in sunlight. Its availability to, and adoption by, artists remain unclear, as colormen's trade catalogs were generally not explicit in describing white pigments as containing lithopone. Further, lithopone may be mistaken for lead white during visual examination and its short-lived phosphorescence can be easily missed by the uninformed observer. Phosphorescent lithopone has been documented on only one other work-to-date: a watercolor by Van Gogh. In addition to the history of lithopone's manufacture, the article details the mechanism for its phosphorescence and its identification aided by Raman spectroscopy and spectrofluorimetry.
