First the cave painting s dates back to the Paleolithic times. These paintings on walls and ceilings to cover several themes, for example: wild animals and tracings of human. The most famous cave paintings are: Lascaux in France or Spanish cave of bulls, for to name a few.

Next, in the Classical period we know the Ancient Greek art. This art have influence in many cultures over the world. In the areas of sculpture and Architecture the Greek art is important for the Renaissance in Europe. In the same period, the Roman Empire the major forms are: architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. In my opinion, the most important form of Roman art is architecture. It was in this area Roman art produced its greatest innovations.

The Medieval art in Europe has a lot influence of the Roman Empire and the iconographic traditions of the early Christian. This art is religious and over 1000 years of history in Europe.

In the Renaissance the art change his form. The mathematics and science were important in this time. The great invention of the Renaissance is: perspective. Later in the Baroque is a period when the style used exaggerated motion. The genre paintings in the Baroque are assorted, for example: landscape paintings, still life, and portrait and in Spain and Italy religious scene.

The Neoclassicism to inherit the Renaissance structure and this form is famous for simplicity. The artistic production of Neoclassicism has got the classical canon and the subject was inspired on martial courage of the Greek and Latin epics. The architecture by used for Republic ideas.

In this period called Romantic era was a great artistic. Thos most important thing is the feeling about nature. This period was subjective in the arts.

For finish, the Impressionism was a nineteen century art movement. The first movement in the History of art because with the Impressionism began the modern art. This is the most important thing about Impressionism.
