An Introduction To Oil PaintingsFlemish painter Jan van Eyck (1390-1441) is credited as being the first painter to use the technique of oil painting in his work. His 1434 wedding portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife, which is now in the National Gallery in London, is accepted by historians as the first and best sample of an oil painting. After him, Antonello da Messina, Leonardo da Vinci, and several others improved the technique to aid faster drying and improve its richness and flexibility. Among the most famous oil paintings are Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, which is an oil on a poplar wood panel, and Raphael’s La Donna Velata, also on a wood panel.

Another example is the African art genre, where the themes are distinctly African. There are four very common themes in African art that show African culture. These include "a couple," "a woman and child," "a male with a weapon or an animal," and an outsider or "stranger."
