Painting

Why did they paint? Written record shows that the Greeks enjoyed painting and that it was one of their most important types of art. However, very few of their paintings have survived as they were painted on wood panels or walls, which have since been destroyed. **Some of their most beautiful paintings can be seen on their pottery, which can be seen today**

Who made this contribution to art? Greek art and architecture had a significant influence over western art for thousands of years to come. Much of Roman art and architecture was borrowed from the Greeks. FUN FACT! Greek artists inspired many artists of the Renaissance!
