The Oldest Paintings in The World
“The Bank of Memories” concerns about preserving art owing to the special feature of augmented reality. Art is a broad category that encompasses a wide range of human activities including the creation of visual, aural, or performative artifacts — works of art — that exhibit the author’s inventive or technical talent and are intended to be admired for their beauty or emotional force. We have prepared for you the oldest masterpieces of art and their history.
The Painted Tomb at Hierakonpolis. The ancient Egyptian culture is well known for their art, especially those that cover the walls of tombs. This piece, which comes from the Painted Tomb at Hierakonpolis, dates back to the pre-dynastic period of Egyptian history, 1,000 years before famous leaders like Tutankhamen and Nefertiti existed. It is believed that this painting was done over time, with some elements being edited by other painters. As for interpretation, historians believe that this painting could show the arrival of Asians into Egypt and how the two cultures eventually achieved peace.
Dancing women from Knossos. The Minoans were recognized for their pottery talents and painted pots, therefore the oldest Greek art came from them. This pot dates from around 1600 BCE, and the detail on it is incredible. There isn’t enough information, which has been preserved, available about this woman. The scientists have no idea who she is or whether she’s ever lived.
The Painting form Takamatsuzuka Tomb. The earliest Indian drawings were discovered in a cave, but they aren’t the cave paintings you’re thinking of. Instead, they adorn the Sittanavasal Cave’s walls and roof. This is the earliest recorded attempt to make an interior space more attractive. Plaster was used to construct the paintings, which were subsequently painted over. It’s worth noting that these paintings were created in the first century BCE and later redrawn by a different artist. These paintings, unlike other paintings of the time, lack religious symbolism.
Unfortunately, most of the masterpieces of art were not preserved, however, owing to the up-to-date technologies we are able to make it eternal by creating digital copies, using AR technologies.
