In the 15th century, portraits were characterized by realistic details, use of light and shadow, and a focus on capturing the individual's likeness. These characteristics influenced the development of portrait painting by setting a standard for accuracy and individuality in portraiture, leading artists to strive for more lifelike representations of their subjects. This period marked a shift towards more personal and expressive depictions of individuals, laying the foundation for the evolution of portrait painting in the following centuries.
One major area in which Alberti had a significant influence on Renaissance painting was in the development of perspective. Alberti's treatise "On Painting" outlined the principles of linear perspective, allowing artists to create more realistic and three-dimensional representations of space on a two-dimensional surface. This revolutionized painting and became a fundamental technique used by artists during the Renaissance and beyond.
Traditional African art had had the greatest influence on 20th century sculpture and painting.
There are no examples of Roman portrait painting. The Romans did not do paintings of canvas. Roman portraiture was sculptural; that is, busts. Roman paintings were frescoes. These were mural paintings executed on freshly-laid, wet lime plaster. They had all sorts of busy scenes and were not used for portraits.
