Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
The oil painting captures a dangerous and highly dramatic scene in which two cowboys on their panicked prancing horses desperately try to save a packhorse that is dangerously close to the edge and about to fall. The cowboys are fighting with all their might against the restlessness of their horses, which, filled with fear, beat their hooves on the rocky ground and kick up the dust. The horses are full of nervousness and tension, making it difficult for the cowboys to maintain control and save the packhorse from falling. The sky is painted in ominous shades of gray and yellow, suggesting a new storm and adding to the drama of the scene. The clouds are piling up in the sky and a diffuse, gloomy light is cast over the landscape, as if nature itself were underlining the danger. The packhorse appears visibly frightened and looks at the riders as if it were pleading for help in a silent cry for help.
