Italian Renaissance Palette

Description

Rediscover the palette of the Old Masters with our Renaissance Palette, a curated selection of 12 half pans of handmade watercolor containing the pigments used in 15th – 17th century Europe. Housed in a classic black metal tin, this set draws directly from the earthy, luminous colors found in frescoes, oil sketches, illuminated manuscripts, and tempera panels.

Each pan is handcrafted in small batches using traditional materials and techniques, from natural earths and mineral pigments to historical lakes and even cuttlefish ink. Made with pure gum arabic and honey, this collection channels the layered subtlety and vibrancy that defined Renaissance art. These colors were prized for their permanence, versatility, and ability to render light and form with grace and depth.
