The appearance of oil painting

15th century ago, the egg-colored painting in European painting was the predecessor of oil painting. While using the egg color painting method, many painters continue to look for a more rational mixture. It is generally believed that/kloc-brothers Jan Van Ike, a painter from the Netherlands at the beginning of the 5th century, were the founders of oil painting techniques.

On the basis of their previous attempts to dissolve pigments in oil, they used linseed oil and walnut oil as blending agents to paint, which made the painting smooth, the drying time of pigments on the screen moderate, and it was easy to cover and modify them many times in the painting process, forming rich color levels and glossiness. After drying, the pigment has strong adhesion and is not easy to peel off and fade.

They used new oil painting materials to create, which was very influential in the painting world at that time. Oil painting technology soon spread to other western European countries, especially Venice, Italy.
