The famous paintings of the world have been a source of inspiration for many artists specifically and in general for most people who have even a limited interest in art. They serve as the source of cultural development and history.

One of the most famous paintings of the olden times is at Grotte Chauvet which is in France. It is claimed to be about 32,000 years old. This painting is engraved and is painted with red ochre and black pigment. These paintings show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffaloes, mammoth or humans.

Other than this a lot of paintings from prehistoric times have also been discovered in many parts of the world. We can also find many of the examples of cave paintings from all over the world such as France, India, China, Portugal and Australia etc.

A lot of people had made different inferences depicting the meanings of the paintings had to those people who made them. Nearly, 30,000 years old a painting in a cave is discovered recently in 1969 on the rock face near Twyfelfontein in Namibia. Then some other paintings from the regions of Southwest France and Northern Spain are discovered some treasure paintings. They are about 150 in number and may be the most unique painting considered is the painting in Chauvet cave that is very recently discovered in 1194.

Art is an amazing topic. It’s something that is described to be a process or art work of something that is a symbol that influences and effect either the senses, emotions and intellect or if not all of these into one item. It a creation that can make you feel different feelings all at the same time and can be set aside and stand out of the crowd from all the rest.

Art can come in many forms, cave paintings and sculptures and been known to have been found from over 40,000 years ago. This is a very long time and if you are to find such beauty in a good condition then it could mean a very good future for yourself and can make others very happy indeed. Another form of art would be  canvas artwork which is also very popular to a lot of people which also dates back to a few hundred years ago.

celebrated living artists. Chuck Close reinvented portraiture almost four decades ago
