In 1881, Professor Cesaret Muscini, who developed paint in the Florence Academy in Italy, inherited the recipes of traditional resin oil paints and muscini oil paintings. Later, in 1893, the Horadam Transparent Watercolor Paint was invented to the highest quality in Europe, and the company was patented in Europe, rapidly developing and earning the position of the top German paint manufacturer. One of the founders, Joseph Horadam, invented Horadam transparent watercolors in Europe in 1893 and patented them in Europe.
