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

This impressive oil painting shows a lioness in a dramatic, nighttime scene. The essence and power of this majestic big cat have been masterfully captured. The lioness is depicted in the foreground of the picture, with her body dynamically approaching the viewer. Her face is detailed and takes center stage in the painting. The lioness's amber eyes look intense and alert, which further reinforces her presence. The slightly open mouth with visible teeth reinforces the impression of a lurking hunter. The artist has chosen a dark, almost monochrome color palette, consisting mainly of various shades of gray and brown. This choice of color underlines the nighttime atmosphere and gives the picture a mysterious, almost threatening mood. The dark background makes the lioness appear even more three-dimensional and present. The depiction of the fur is particularly impressive. The texture and movement of the fur have been captured with fine brushstrokes, giving the painting a lively quality. The lioness's muscles and body shape are masterfully brought out through subtle shading and light reflections. The painting exudes a mixture of power, grace and latent danger. It captures not only the physical appearance of a lioness, but also her nature as a predator. The oil on velvet technique is very rarely used because it is very laborious and difficult.
