Answer:
During the Northern Renaissance, the use of oil painting was developed in Flanders.
Step-by-step explanation:
The invention of oil painting has been the subject of controversies among art historians. Many authors attributed the invention to two artists from Flanders, during the Northern Renaissance, to the brothers Hubert and Jasn Van Eyck. They were notable not only for their inventions, but also for their artistic qualities, which were painstaking and incisive realism, poeticized by their sensitivity to luminous effects, as well as exquisite execution.
The technique of oil painting rapidly diffused from Flanders to other European countries, and was soon known and received with special interest by the Italians, given the commercial relations that Italy maintained with the Flemish cities.
