A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Rozée, (Madame)
ROZÉE (MADAME), an extraordinary Paintress; born at Leyden, in 1632.
It is said, that she neither used oil nor water colours, but only worked on the rough side of the pannel with a preparation of silk floss, disposed in different boxes, according to the different degrees of light and dark tints, out of which she applied whatever colour was requisite for her work, and blended, softened, and united the tints with such art and judgment, that she imitated the warmth of flesh as well as could be done with oil. The pictures were exquisitely beautiful, and curious, some being historical subjects, others landscapes, and some portraits. She died 1682.
