Origins and History
Contemporary Tempera Paintings have a rich history, dating back to the 1st century AD. The ancient Egyptians used tempera to paint their tombs, and Byzantine artists used it to create religious icons in the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo used tempera to create masterpieces.

Evolutions of theses works in the contemporary art market
Contemporary Tempera Paintings have undergone significant evolution in recent times, with artists experimenting with new techniques and styles. Some painters have combined Tempera with other mediums such as oil or acrylic to create unique textures and effects. This development has created a new demand for Tempera Paintings in the contemporary art market, with collectors and art enthusiasts alike appreciating the unique qualities of this medium. The use of egg yolk as a binder in Tempera Paintings gives them a luminosity and depth that is hard to achieve with other mediums, making them a valuable addition to any art collection. The importance of Tempera Paintings in the contemporary art market cannot be overstated, as they offer a unique perspective and texture that other mediums cannot match.
