The following is ArtTeeShop‘s collection of art movements that have shaped the History of Western Art together with the list of the most famous representatives per style. It doesn’t pretend to be an exhaustive list of art styles and artists by any means, but a humble attempt to list as many of them as possible as you will see it reflected on our pages and products available at our shop.

You can find products related to a specific author just by clicking on the artist name listed under each art movement shown below, where you will gradually see all artists we are including at ArtTeeShop. Alternatively, visit the Artists Index page for an A to Z list. 

In addition to the collection of art movements, you will also find art pertaining to Prehistoric and Aboriginal Art that takes us back to the beginning of humankind. At ArtTeeShop we believe in art without frontiers and this is reflected in the magnificent examples of Cave Art found in the impressive caves of Lascaux and Altamira.

Lascaux Cave is a Palaeolithic cave situated in southwestern France, near the village of Montignac in the Dordogne region, which houses some of the most famous examples of prehistoric cave paintings. Close to 600 paintings – mostly of animals – dot the interior walls of the cave in impressive compositions. Horses are the most numerous, but deer, aurochs, ibex, bison, and even some felines can also be found. The art, dated to c. 17,000 – c. 15,000 BCE, falls within the Upper Palaeolithic period and was created by the clearly skilled hands of humans living in the area at that time.

The Cave of Altamira is a cave complex, located near the historic town of Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, Spain. It is renowned for prehistoric parietal cave art featuring charcoal drawings and polychrome paintings of contemporary local fauna and human hands. The earliest paintings were applied during the Upper Paleolithic, around 36,000 years ago. The site was discovered in 1868 by Modesto Cubillas and subsequently studied by Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola.

So enjoy this collection of art movements and related painters as much as you can and don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to see other artists listed here.
