Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (support base). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. Painting is a mode of creative expression, and the forms are numerous.
Paintings have been getting more colourful and more complex in terms of brightness and contrast since the Medieval period, a study in Scientific Reports demonstrates. Digital analysis of nearly 9,000 paintings spanning 10 historical periods (over 800 years) depicts changes in artists’ pallets and identifies signatures that correspond with the development of new painting techniques.
Using digital imaging techniques, Hawoong Jeong and colleagues investigate the use of individual colours, the variety of colours, and the variation in brightness of 8,798 western paintings dating from the 11th century to the mid-19th century. The paintings are classified into 10 historical periods: Medieval, Early Renaissance, Northern Renaissance, High Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism.
The history of painting reaches back in time to artifacts from pre-historic humans, and spans all cultures. It represents a continuous, though periodically disrupted, tradition from Antiquity. Across cultures, and spanning continents and millennia, the history of painting is an ongoing river of creativity, that continues into the 21st century. Until the early 20th century it relied primarily on representational, religious and classical motifs, after which time more purely abstract and conceptual approaches gained favor.
To sum up the whole thing,
