The History of Paintings
Are you a lover of the past? Do you find beauty in all things old and classic? Or do you just love a vintage look and feel to your home?
The History of Paintings
From the beginnings of mankind, paintings have remained an integral part of our existence. The first paintings date back to the Neolithic era, with the earliest known oil painting being found in the 14th Century. The world has seen an exciting series of exceptional art movements, including Realism, Impressionism and Surrealism.
Why Choose a Vintage Painting?
The word ‘vintage’ means anything that has been produced in the past that is typical of its period. Essentially, when you buy a piece of vintage art, you are buying a piece of history.
It’s no wonder that wall art is one of the most favoured ways to decorate the home. Choosing the right painting can completely change the mood and style of a room, allowing you to transform it into a space that reflects your personality and interests. Vintage paintings can help us teleport to another era, inspiring feelings of nostalgia and evoking precious memories.
You could feature a piece of vintage art as a statement piece or collect your favourites and hang them in a thoughtful arrangement for some interesting eye candy. We recommend placing a piece of vintage wall art in your home above your desk, bed, or table for maximum impact. You can also pair vintage art with other forms of antique décor to add a special touch to your home.
