Answer:

Beginning of the item

- Painting was first practiced by nomadic people in prehistoric times to etch

symbols onto the rough interiors of caves and mountains. Charcoal was
frequently the primary medium utilized in these paintings since it produced gray
markings on the walls.
- Early examples of Neanderthal and prehistoric human painting have been
discovered all across the world, and the oldest artwork that has been discovered
is roughly 40,000 years old. They frequently feature commonly hunted creatures
like horses, rhinos, and lions and are painted using red ochre and black pigment.

Function played in history

- Painting is one of the oldest artistic mediums, and examining the works of our
ancestors has provided art historians with a plethora of information about our
past.

- The fact that painting is as old as human history explains its significance.
Painting is one of the methods used by historians, philosophers, and
anthropologists in their quest to understand the origins of extinct civilizations and
cultures.
