Canvas has replaced wooden panels as the most common support material for oil paintings. It has been used in Italy since the 14th century, but was rarely used. One of the earliest oil paintings left on the canvas is Madonna, France, with an angel, circa 1410, in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. The use of Paolo Uccello’s St. George and the Dragon around 1470, and Sandro Botticelli’s Venus in the 1480s, was still rare at the time. The large painting of the country house was clearly likely to be on canvas and probably did not survive. Sometimes it refers to a painting that is considerably cheaper and less important than a panel painting.
