The development of oil paint in the 15th century allowed artists to create detailed paintings with greater depth and richness of color. Unlike water-based paints, oil paints dry slowly, enabling artists to blend colors and achieve intricate textures and fine details. This innovation, combined with the advent of new techniques such as glazing and layering, significantly enhanced the realism and complexity of artworks during the Renaissance and beyond.
