The realistic details in European painting of the 17th and 18th centuries were made possible by advancements in techniques and materials, particularly the use of oil paint, which allowed for greater blending and layering of colors. The development of chiaroscuro and linear perspective also contributed to a more three-dimensional appearance in artworks. Additionally, artists began to incorporate scientific observations of light and anatomy, enhancing the realism of their subjects. These innovations collectively transformed European art, leading to a more lifelike representation of people and landscapes.

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.
