In 1832, English scientist William Winsor and the artist Henry Newton set out to supply the best possible materials to artists. When they teamed up with great masters such as JMW Turner, they received the insights and professional know-how to establish Winsor & Newton. In 1841 the company received a first Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria. Today the multi-national company continues to produce paints and supplies for painters. From the company website.
