Oldest Known Oil Painting Discovered Posted: 8 months ago by MandolinOrange
The painting dates from 650 A.D. and has been found in caves in Afghanistan's Bamiyan Valley. The discovery reverses a common perception that the oil painting, considered a typically Western art, originated in Europe, where the earliest examples date to the early 12th century A.D.
