From the rotten job of painting on canvas, to the engraved masterpieces of Langlume in the 19th century, art has evolved through various mediums. Oil on cardboard brought life to Portrait of the painter Antonio Discovolo in 1903, while The Animal Painters showcased the beauty of nature in oil on canvas in 1889. The confiscation of a painter's studio in the 16th century was captured in oil on panel, while CJ Fox's cartoon from 1784 brought humor to the political scene. The humble pavement artist in London received a penny's worth of recognition, and winter's white landscape was immortalized in When the Land is White with Winter. The Two Patriotic Duchesses graced their canvasses in an engraving from the same year, and painting pantomime sets became an art form of its own. Through the centuries, the canvas has been a blank slate for artists to express their creativity, capturing moments in time and bringing joy to audiences.
