| | Watercolor Painting Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography |
 | | The forerunner of watercolor painting in Europe was buon fresco painting — wall-painting using pigments in a water medium on wet plaster. | | | Other famous artists have used watercolor painting to supplement their work with oil paint, including van Dyck (1599-1641), Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), and John Constable (1776-1837). | | | The earliest known use of European watercolor painting is by Italian Renaissance painter Raffaello Santi (1483-1520), who painted full-scale cartoons as precursors for tapestry designs. |

| | While the paintings of the former artist are often flat and poster-like, tending toward subjects dealing with social criticism, the realism revealed in the latter's works adopts an illustrative technique that strives for a more personal art. | | | Frequently the paintings were done in fresco and then retouched in secco. | | | The painting medium used throughout the ancient world consisted of tempera, a mixture composed of color pigments extracted from minerals, egg yolk used as an adhesive, and water to liquefy the paint. |

| | This painting is a tribute to the life of women in those days and the central role that duty and decorum played in their lives. | | | Safeya's concern with accuracy and detail infuse her paintings, though she calls her style "primitive." The varied influences of Cézanne, Giotto, Van Gogh, Fra Angelico and Gaugin on her paintings have been noted by art critics, but she has freed herself from imitation and developed her own distinctive identity. | | | I can also say that my heritage paintings may be due, in part, to my love of history, and to the lack of information on cultural traditions." The success of her first exhibit in 1968 was a turning point, she says. |

| | Irises is a painting by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, one of the first he did while he was at the asylum at Saint Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France in the last year before his death in 1890. | | | The painting was probably influenced by Japanese woodblock prints, like many of his works. | | | It was painted before his first attack there; this is evident in the lack of high tension which is seen in his later works. |

| | History Painting |
| | But the painters did not abandon the subjects of history painting; instead, they made smaller pictures and approached their literary subjects in different ways, with a new focus on more intimate scenes, the minor characters, and the psychology of the characters and situations depicted. | | | Aside from whatever merits history painting had as art, its very "grandness" was ironically the cause of its decline in popularity: quite simply, few patrons had the walls to accommodate these imposing works. | | | It did not take long for the range of fit subjects for historical painting to widen, and, thanks in great measure to the ambitious Shakespeare Gallery of John Boydell, artists turned as well to British history and literature for their inspiration. |

| | Art Bulletin, The: Why Chinese painting is history |
| | While postmodern theorists have critiqued modern art history as a "coy science," (7) social art historians, asking, "Is art history?" have argued for a shift in focus from histories of styles to "pieces of history," or micro-histories. | | | To date a painting, for example, we must first analyze it in the context of a period style, which, in turn, is defined by an analysis of paintings. | | | The history of art required by new countries in old worlds is not one that relates them to the West but one that proclaims their differences--Oleg Grabar, "On the Universality of the History of Art" (4) |

| | Although not technically true oils (the medium is an unidentified "non-drying synthetic oily liquid, imbedded with a heat sensitive curing agent"), the paintings resemble oil paintings and are usually shown as oil paintings. | | | Oil painting is done on surfaces with pigment ground into a medium of oil — especially in early modern Europe, linseed oil. | | | Surfaces like shields — both those used in tournaments and those hung as decorations — were more durable when painted in oil-based media than when painted in the traditional tempera paints. |
