Experiments had been made before, but usually Robert Campin (Master of Flémalle) is mentioned as the pioneer of oil painting.

After him Jan van Eyck developed the use of oil.

Painting on wood panel remained more common until the 16th century in Italy and the 17th century in Northern Europe. Mantegna and Venetian artists (Titian) were among those leading the change to canvas painting.

So, it is not possible to give an unequivocal answer to this question.
