    Sennelier’s world-renowned egg tempera paints faithfully continue an artistic tradition dating back at least 5,000 years, blending premium quality pigment with an egg emulsion, giving a satin-matte finish which is water resistant when dry. These paints are extremely archival, with vibrance and beauty which can last millennia without fading or yellowing. Tempera is particularly suited to layering, with its semi-transparency granting artworks an otherworldly luminosity. It is not surprising that it has long been a mainstay of religious icon-painting traditions!
