Most people believe that a high quality oil paintings must be expensive. But they are wrong. Many online art galleries have original oil paintings and discount oil paintings for sale, and their prices are very cheap, it is affordable for common people.
Using auctions and art galleries, collectors buy oil paintings. With the addition of galleries that sell oil paintings online, original oil paintings are now more accessible to anyone who loves art, even if they have never been active on the art scene before.
Many articles have been written about how to purchase oil paintings online. The instructions remind one of an IKEA instruction manual. How to select a color for your painting, what size a painting should be, what material should it be painted on; canvas or something else – basically, it is all baloney. If you find a piece of art that is in your price range, have the room to hang it and love it with a passion, buy it. If your home decor is conservative and muted and the painting you love is modern and bright, you will smile each time you view it.
To buy online quality oil paintings there are some things you should do. If it is a large site make sure that it is rated by The Better Business Bureau. If the site is part of a group like Amazon, read buyers reviews of the galleries. If you are buying directly from an artist who sells their work online, ask for references. None of this has to do with the art. You simply want to be sure that the piece you order is delivered. Although, if consumer reviews are consistent about things such as flaking paint, wet smeared pictures or framing that is broken, beware. It is probably best to seek another piece.
Bamiyan is known for the idiotic destruction of spectacular statues by the Taliban in 2001. Behind the statues there are caves that have paintings dating back to the 7th century.
In many European history and art books, oil painting is said to have started in the 15th century in Europe. But scientists from the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties in Tokyo, the Centre of Research and Restoration of the French Museums-CNRS, the Getty Conservation Institute and the ESRF have recently identified drying oils in some of the samples they studied from the Bamiyan caves. Painted in the mid-7th century A.D., the murals show scenes with Buddhas in vermilion robes sitting cross-legged amid palm leaves and mythical creatures. The scientists discovered that 12 out of the 50 caves were painted with oil painting technique, using perhaps walnut and poppy seed drying oils.
A combination of synchrotron techniques such as infrared micro-spectroscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence, micro X-ray absorption spectroscopy or micro X-ray diffraction was crucial for the outcome of the work. "On one hand, the paintings are arranged as superposition of multiple layers, which can be very thin. The micrometric beam provided by synchrotron sources was hence essential to analyze separately each of these layers. On the other hand, these paintings are made with inorganic pigments mixed in organic binders, so we needed different techniques to get the full picture" Marine Cotte, a research scientist at CNRS and an ESRF scientific collaborator explains.
The results showed a high diversity of pigments as well as binders and the scientists identified original ingredients and alteration compounds. Apart from oil-based paint layers, some of the layers were made of natural resins, proteins, gums, and, in some cases, a resinous, varnish-like layer. Protein-based material can indicate the use of hide glue or egg. Within the various pigments, the scientists found a high use of lead whites. These lead carbonates were often used, since Antiquity up to modern times, not only in Discount Oil Paintings but also in cosmetics as face whiteners.
The paintings are probably the work of artists who traveled on the Silk Road, the ancient trade route between China, across Central Asia's desert to the West. However, there are very few studies about this region.
