The history of art was developed in the Western world, and throughout the Renaissance period, which marked the period of European history at the close of the middle ages and the rise of the modern world. This era represented a cultural rebirth from the fourteenth through the middle of the seventeenth century. During this time, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael developed techniques, studying light, shadow, and even human anatomy.
Some of the greatest artistic masterpieces of all time, such as the Sistine Chapel, the Mona Lisa, or The Last Supper tell the narrative of how art began. Today, a precedent has been set for artists and art enthusiasts around the world, by sharing and preserving this entire artistic legacy throughout history. These great artistic minds, along with evolving technology, has led the field of art to the exploration of different genres, creative styles, and manners of expression.
Anything can be art, as the field itself is subjective, and very much dependent upon an artist’s perspective. The definition of art is broad, and what may have once been seen as an artistic masterpiece is now understood as a philosophical, economic, social, and cultural illustration of the artist's view of the world.
Art is a skill, and its purpose is to narrate a story. If you have an artistic vision in mind for an original painting, such as landscapes, personal portraits or pets, a painting can be produced to your specifications. Even if you are motivated by the design and décor of a home or office space, whether for yourself or a loved one, art is a wonderful way to express yourself, all while having your memories turned into a permanent memento.
