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
L'influence de la peinture de Judith décapitant Holopherne est évidente. C'est un thème artistique tiré du Livre de Judith, particulièrement représenté dans la peinture européenne du XVIIe siècle. Judith entre dans la tente d'Holopherne, un général assyrien sur le point de mener une offensive contre la ville de Béthulie. Il s'enivre au point de perdre connaissance ; Judith le décapite, et emporte sa tête dans un panier (la tête est souvent représentée dans un panier portée par une servante de Judith, plus âgée qu'elle).
