Oil Painting is arguably the second oldest of artwork styles. While oil painting emerges as early as the fifth century A.D., it came into its own during the 15th century, when it replaced tempera painting as the premier medium for fine art on canvas. Using a process that binds color pigment into oil-linseed, poppyseed, walnut, or safflower-artists create vibrant and rich colors through layering paint, either wet or dry. Noted artists of this style include Rembrandt, Vermeer, Picasso, and da Vinci.
