History of Painting
The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France,
dated at about 32,000 years old. They are engraved and painted using
red ochre and black pigment and show horses, rhinoceros, lions,
buffalo, and mammoth. There are examples of cave painting all over
the world.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.
