The people that have been major players throughout the history of oil painting were all white European men that all had a liking for painting. This is because in European people are better educated on the art of painting. With there money and materials to work with on there paintings they can prefect and make people see how amazing there artwork can come to be.
I think that the things that are missing from the history of oil painting is that other people besides the Europeans did do paintings just the same. But without the education and better understanding of oil painting, other people aren’t shown as the best, and the most well known. This is because of there lack of education and everything that they were grown up with.
It has been said that oil painting did not start up in European it actually took place in other places near Afghanistan and around there. So the Europeans took up the idea after hearing from other places.
All these oil painting either went into art galleries or museums showing there art work. These paintings “live” in these different places to show the history and the art of times when many important things happened.
