This is a very interesting question and the answer is not set in stone. New discoveries by archaeologists are made around the world all of the time, and some of these discoveries re-write history. Art Historians still agree that the 'Venus of Willendorf' can be called the first work of art. Discovered by archaeologists, the piece is a stone carving of a woman and dates to c. 25,000-20,000 B.C. Many of these artifacts have been found and pre-date the Magdalenian cave paintings. A very distinct culture developed in the Upper-Paleolithic period, known as the 'Gravettian-Pavlovian'. The 'Venus' figures they made have been found from the Rhine to Russia, and especially in central Europe. Sculpted from stone, in the full round, these small figures are the first depiction of people. The cave paintings or 'Rock Shelter Paintings' are next in the timeline. The Lascaux Cave Paintings in the Dordogne region of France date to c. 15,000 BC. The first discovery of these paintings was made in 1879 near Santander in northern Spain. A local man named Marcelino de Sautuola was exploring the Altamira Caves on his estate. He was interested in the antiquity of man and had previously found flint and carved bone. Because of the debris in the cave it was his daughter who first saw the inside of the cave and the painted beasts on the ceiling. De Sautuola was the first modern man to explore the cave, and he was convinced the paintings dated to Prehistoric times. The archeologists of the time did not agree. Finally, in 1896 paintings were found at Pair-non-Pair in the Gironde district of France. Partially obscured by calcareous deposits that would have taken thousands of years to accumulate, these paintings were finally recognized as authentic.

On 28 January 1857 his mother died. He was 16 years old when he left school, and went to live with his widowed childless aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre. Monet's 1866 Camille or The Woman in the Green Dress (La Femme à la Robe Verte), which brought him recognition, was one of many works featuring his future wife, Camille Doncieux. Shortly thereafter Doncieux became pregnant and bore their first child, Jean. Monet and Camille Doncieux had married just before the war (June 28, 1870) and, after their excursion to London and Zaandam, they had moved into a house in Argenteuil near the Seine River in December 1871. She became ill in 1876. They had a second son, Michel, on March 17, 1878, (Jean was born in 1867). This second child weakened her already fading health. In that same year, he moved to the village of Vétheuil. At the age of thirty-two, Madame Monet died on 5 September 1879 of tuberculosis; Monet painted her on her death bed Following the death of her estranged husband, Alice Hoschedé married Claude Monet in 1892 His wife Alice died in 1911 and his oldest son Jean, who had married Alice's daughter Blanche, Monet's particular favourite, died in 1914 His mother was Louise-Justine Monet.

Religious themes dominated art during the middle ages. The Virgin Mary holding Jesus "Madonna and Child" is by far the most typical.

Since the whole Roman empire ended in the 1400s, it is likely for the Roman art to end somewhere around that time. It is not certain, but this date is probably likely.

Religion played a mayor role in the arts of Islamic civilizations. Islams did not include depictions of humans in their art because the early Islam religion forbade the paintings of human beings, as this would bring idolatry followers. The Islam's painted in geometric forms, calligraphy arabesque, and floral designs.

Paint has been used by humans for tens of thousands of years. Evidence can be seen in cave paintings dating back over 30 thousand years, yet, the making of paint is still essentially the same. There are two main ingredients: pigment (color) and binder (a medium to carry and hold the pigment intact).

Earth colors like ochre, charcoal, plant material, insects, common and precious minerals and metals, even blood, offer coloring options that span all the colors of the rainbow. For example, the metals titanium, zinc and lead all provide a white color. Lapis Lazuli, a semi-precious stone, yields a deep blue, the cochineal beetle, a bright red.

Minerals, earth colors, roots, leaves, insects, charcoal, gemstones are crushed or ground to a fine powder. This colored powder may bound with liquid, such as egg white, oil, water, resin, or saliva.

Sometimes the powdered pigment is used without a binder. In this case it is generally applied to a wet or sticky surface, which then holds the color. In the case of cave paintings, the pigment was often "blown" onto the cave walls, through a reed, or spit out of the mouth.

Humans are very resourceful.
