Our Ultramarine pigment is vibrant and intense and evokes the jewel-like blues of lapis lazuli.

Blue pigment was formerly obtained by grinding lapis lazuli, a fine stone resulting from volcanic fusion from Afghanistan. Its scarcity made it hugely expensive. In the Middle Ages, lapis lazuli pigment was used for illuminations, while in the Renaissance, this pigment had become so expensive that it was always itemised in commission fees. Eventually it was replaced by a synthetic pigment in the nineteenth century.
