Sennelier was born in 1887, when Gustave Sennelier, passionate about chemistry, established himself as a color merchant. He works on the origin of the pigments, the manufacturing procedures, the mixtures and the fastness of the colors.
From then on, the Sennelier house has been a meeting point for artists. There is a creative effervescence and daily exchanges will lead to new techniques and unique colors. Since then, the extra-fine Sennelier colors have been present in most major museums.
Today Sennelier has become the "reference" brand for artists, because he has always known how to associate the tradition of the old masters with the innovation of modern chemistry.
