In time, primarily during the Era of Enlightenment, finer distinctions were made-and standards for fine art, or high art, were established. However, it wasn’t until the advent of aesthetics (the philosophy of beauty and artistic taste) that people began distinguishing between fine art (art created purely for aesthetic pleasure) and applied art (artistic objects created for a practical purpose). People have created painted artwork for millennia, evidenced by the 30,000-year-old cave paintings in the Chauvet Cave in France. To discover some of the most exciting contemporary fine art painters featured on Saatchi Art, check our One to Watch and Invest in Art pages regularly. Renowned contemporary fine art painters include Peter Doig, Zhang Xiaogang, David Hockney and Gerhard Richter. Subsequent movements/centuries would see the rise of: Caravaggio, Diego Velasquez, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Rubens (Baroque) Fragonard and Boucher (Rococo) David and Ingres (Neoclassicism) Turner, Constable, Gericault, Goya, and Delacroix (Romanticism) Monet, Seurat, Degas, Cezanne (Impressionism) Magritte, Dali, and Ernst (Surrealism) Gorky, Rothko, Pollock (Abstract Expressionism) Warhol, Johns, Hockney, Lichtenstein (Pop Art). Though many talented painters created exquisite works prior to the European Renaissance (c.1400-1600), some of the most seminal painters in the history of fine art emerged during that period - shaping the landscape of fine art paintings for centuries to come. Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, and Botticelli, are probably among the most recognized fine art artists of this period.
