PAINTING Available lots

Painting or the creation of images from drawings and the application of colored pigments on different surfaces is a technique used throughout history to represent religious, philosophical concepts or everyday reality. Painting is one of the main means of documenting reality and the historical development of the different cultures that have followed one another throughout history. Painting has gone from being a craft in antiquity, to an activity with an intellectual conception in the Renaissance that considered artists superior to other manual craftsmen. In the middle of the 18th century the term Fine Arts was applied, acquiring the painting importance per se.
