The most respected form of art, according to authors like [|Pliny] or [|Pausanias], were individual, mobile paintings on wooden boards, technically described as [|panel paintings]. The techniques used were [|encaustic] (wax) painting and [|tempera]. Such paintings normally depicted figural scenes, including [|portraits] and [|still-lifes]; we have descriptions of many compositions. They were collected and often displayed in public spaces. Pausanias describes such exhibitions at [|Athens] and [|Delphi]. We know the names of many famous painters, mainly of the Classical and Hellenistic periods, from literature (see expandable list to the right).

Unfortunately, due to the perishable nature of the materials used and the major upheavals at the end of antiquity, not one of the famous works of Greek panel painting has survived, nor even any of the copies that doubtlessly existed, and which give us most of our knowledge of Greek sculpture. The most important surviving Greek examples are the fairly low-quality [|Pitsa panels] from //circa// 530 BC, and a large group of much later Graeco-Roman archaeological survivals from the dry conditions of Egypt, the [|Fayum mummy portraits], together with the similar [|Severan Tondo]. [|Byzantine] [|icons] are also derived from the encaustic panel painting tradition.

The tradition of wall painting in Greece goes back at least to the [|Minoan] and [|Mycenaean] [|Bronze Age], with the lavish fresco decoration of sites like [|Knossos], [|Tiryns] and [|Mycenae]. It is not clear, whether there is any continuity between these antecedents and later Greek wall paintings. Wall paintings are frequently described in Pausanias, and many appear to have been produced in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Due to the lack of architecture surviving intact, not many are preserved. The most notable examples are a monumental Archaic 7th century BC scene of [|hoplite] combat from inside a temple at Kalapodi (near [|Thebes]), and the elaborate frescoes from the 4th century "Grave of Phillipp" and the "Tomb of Persephone" at [|Vergina] in [|Macedonia],[|[1]] sometimes suggested to be closely linked to the high-quality panel paintings mentioned above. Greek wall painting tradition is also reflected in contemporary grave decorations in the [|Greek colonies] in [|Italy], e.g. the famous [|Tomb of the Diver] at [|Paestum]. Some scholars suggest that the celebrated Roman frescoes at sites like [|Pompeii] are the direct descendants of Greek tradition, and that some of them copy famous panel paintings.

 Ancient Greek __[|painters]__ typically painted on temple walls. Few of these paintings have survived due to the fragility of the medium, though a significant number of painted vases of the period have survived.

 The style of painting in early Greece was heroic. The scene of Ajax and Achilles __[|gaming]__ was very popular in Athenian vase painting of the late 500s B.C. Wall painting of the period was done in distemper, the earliest known medium. Through 500 B.C., Greek painting consisted of shaded outline filled in with monochromatic hues Greek artists of the Byzantine period produced religious art. El Greco (1541 to 1614), born on Crete, combined Byzantine and Venetian art to form his elongated figures and dark color contrasts, epitomizing the painting style of Counter-Reformation Spain.

With the demise of the Ottoman Empire, Greek artists typically studied abroad. The Greek "Munich" school of painters of the late 19th century produced realistic scenes of everyday Greek life. Figurative realism, often from an ex-patriot perspective, would define Greek painting through to the present time.
