Overview and quickfacts

Oil portraits are a type of painting that uses oil-based paint. The paint is applied to a canvas in a thin layer and then left to dry. The artist may then add additional layers of paint to create a more detailed image. Oil portraits have a long history, dating back to the 15th century. The first oil portraits were painted in Flanders, and the style soon spread to other parts of Europe. Oil portraits became popular in the United States in the 19th century. Today, oil portraits are still popular among artists and collectors. They are considered to be a more traditional type of painting, and often have a more classic look than other types of portraits.
