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
Charybdis and Scylla personify two great fears of the navigators of the ancient world: the maelstroms and the reefs, which could lead to the worst shipwrecks... Alessandro Allori represented them on the ceiling of the Portinari Salviati Palace (Florence), whose frescoes illustrate the Odyssey. Ulysses' ship escapes Charybdis, an enormous maw vomiting raging waves, but Scylla, represented by a monstrous five-headed dog, devours six of his companions. Charybdis and Scylla personify the maelstroms and the reefs. I borrowed these two monsters as well as some fragments of the pearl fishermen from Alessandro Allori (1535-1607), in a landscape inspired by a composition by Olivier Debré (1920-1999). All our joys must slalom between the dangers to which we are exposed. They are sometimes devoured by misfortunes, but sometimes reinforced by the pearls that life offers us.
