What are Painting Eras?
Era refers to a period of art history which is characterized by an artist's place in time and the styles and materials available to the painter.
The first painters were limited to painting on cave walls with materials they could find in nature.
Over thousands of years new painting materials and developments in art and design challenged painters to explore and refine new horizons.
Each era can claim artists who lead the way in the creative and technical development of painting.
