Henry Newton (Winsor & Newton founder)

Henry C. Newton (died 1882) was a British painter, and one of the original founders of the art material company Winsor & Newton.

In 1832, together with William Winsor, chemist, Newton founded Winsor & Newton in a small shop at 38 Rathbone Place in London, his home, "which was then part of an artists’ quarter in which a number of eminent painters, including John Constable, had studios, and other colourmen were already established".

William Winsor died in 1865. A few months before his own death in 1882 Newton sold the business to the newly incorporated firm of Winsor & Newton Ltd. which included members of both families amongst the shareholders.

The company continues to manufacture fine art materials, and is known for its watercolour paints.
