'''Painting''' is one of the most ancient arts in Mexico. It is said that the oldest paint in America was found in a cave in [[Baja California]]. [[Aztecs]] and Mayans, painted on the walls of their temples and tombs. In [[Maya|Mayan]] culture one may find interesting paintings in Bonampak frescoes. The [[Baroque]] style was developed also in [[New Spain]] in its Colonial era; although, it incorporated Indian decorative motifs. Religious paintings intended for churches and [[portraits]] of aristocrats were the current subject in this Colonial era. From the XVI to the XVIII Century, Mexican painting played an important didactic role. Different European Schools during XIX and XX Century, had influence in Mexican painters. ''The Mexican Modernist School (and [[Muralism|muralists]]) abandoned the solemn and detached art of [[Europe]] and instead embraced bold [[New World]] imagery full of color and human activity.''
