Painting emerged in prehistory, when nomadic people made use of paintings on rocky walls. They made drawings with charcoal leaving marks in the caves where they passed. Recent discovery made in Spain found that the oldest paintings discovered to date, made by humans, were made more than 42,000 years ago.
