Course Curriculum

OVERVIEW OF OIL PAINTING
Oil painting is a painting technique in which oil is used as the binder to hold the pigment together and create a durable, long-lasting work of art. The technique has been used for centuries and has a rich history that spans many different cultures and time periods. Oil painting first emerged in the eastern world, specifically in the region of modern-day Afghanistan, around the mid-8th century. It was later adopted by the Byzantine Empire and spread throughout Europe, where it became a popular medium for creating religious and secular paintings. One of the earliest known oil paintings in Europe is the "Madonna and Child" by the Italian artist Cimabue, dating back to the 13th century. However, it was not until the 15th century that oil painting really took off as a medium, with the work of artists like Jan van Eyck and his brother Hubert van Eyck, who are credited with developing the technique of oil painting as we know it today. During the Renaissance, oil painting became the dominant medium in Europe and was used by many of the great masters of the time, including Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Rembrandt. In the 19th and 20th centuries, oil painting continued to be a popular medium and was used by many famous artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso. Today, oil painting is still a popular medium for creating paintings and is used by artists all over the world.
