Senape
A rich, deep ochre that recalls the tones of desert earth.
Sourced from the hills of Lozzolo near Vercelli, this mustard shade calls to mind Mantegna’s Camera Picta in the Ducal Palace of Mantua — and not by coincidence. The same earth that has created this colour is, geologically, very close to what the Renaissance master would have used for his pigments more than five centuries ago.
