A history painting shows a scene from a well-
known story. Traditionally, history paintings
show scenes from legends, religious texts
or battles that really happened. History
paintings are often painted on large can
vases and usually show a lot of people.

The Modern movement is a period from the
1860s to the 1970s. Artists from Salvador
Dali to Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh,
Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo had a way of
showing the usual things in new ways with
fresh ideas about the nature of materials
and functions of art. Art after the 1970s is
called postmodernist (or contemporary) art.
