During the 18th century, oil painting continued to be a popular medium for creating paintings, and was used by many of the great masters of the time, including Francisco Goya, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and John Singleton Copley.

One of the most famous oil paintings from the 18th century is the “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, which is known for its expressive and emotional use of color and brushwork. Other notable oil paintings from the 18th century include Goya’s “The Third of May 1808,” Fragonard’s “The Swing,” and Copley’s “Watson and the Shark.”

During the 18th century, oil painting techniques continued to evolve and improve, and artists developed new ways of using the medium to create a wide range of effects. The Rococo style, which emerged in the 18th century, was characterized by its ornate, decorative style and its use of pastel colors and light, airy brushwork. Many of the great masters of the Rococo period, including Fragonard and Gainsborough, were skilled in the use of oil paint and used it to create some of the most iconic paintings of the time.

Today, the oil paintings of the 18th century are still admired and studied for their technical mastery and artistic achievement, and continue to be an important part of the history and evolution of oil painting.
