The Baroque movement of the 17th century included Rembrandt, Caravaggio, and Rubens, which was followed by the Rococo movement (Boucher and Fragonard), and the French neo-classical movement (David and Ingres). Other famous artists of the Renaissance include Raphael, Michelangelo, Van Eyck, and Titian.
The Renaissance saw the rise of master artists who created a great number of the world's most famous paintings including “The Last Supper” and "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci, and “Primavera” by Sandro Botticelli. Modern art movements, such as Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism and Pop Art, are far more concerned with art concepts and technique, than in a need to accurately record one’s surrounding world. The art movements of the late 19th century and early 20th century, including Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and Cubism, were steps away from previous art movements that were rooted in realism and capturing the surrounding world with paint. As photographic processes advanced, photography took away painting's historic purpose of recording the world. The invention of photography in the 19th century greatly affected the course of painting. The genres were organized into a hierarchy, and include history painting, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and genre painting. It has been used since antiquity, and examples from the first century AD still exist today.ĭuring the Era of Enlightenment, five genres of paintings were advocated by art academies, including the French Academy and the Royal Academy in London. Tempera paint was the preferred medium of choice in Renaissance Italy.
Oil paint is a more flexible medium, and allows for a greater range of optical effects this in turn led to new expressive techniques for artists. It seems humans have been drawn to artistic expression for millennia. Some of the oldest known paintings can be found at the Chauvet Cave in France, which are estimated to be about 32,000 years old.ĭuring the late Renaissance, oil painting techniques were developed in the Netherlands, which quickly spread across Europe. Others specialize in a particular style, be it fine art, street art, or expressionist paintings.Īs the world’s largest online art gallery, Saatchi Art is thrilled to help people everywhere discover, fall in love with, and own one-of-a-kind paintings by some of the most talented emerging artists from around the world.įor a bit more help finding the perfect artwork from our selection of original paintings for sale, we also invite you to take advantage of our expert Art Advisory service.
