Origins and History
Contemporary Tempera Paintings have a rich history, dating back to the 1st century AD. The ancient Egyptians used tempera to paint their tombs, and Byzantine artists used it to create religious icons in the Middle Ages. During the Renaissance, artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo used tempera to create masterpieces.

Evolutions of theses works in the contemporary art market
Contemporary Tempera Paintings have undergone significant evolution in recent times, with artists experimenting with new techniques and styles. Some painters have combined Tempera with other mediums such as oil or acrylic to create unique textures and effects. This development has created a new demand for Tempera Paintings in the contemporary art market, with collectors and art enthusiasts alike appreciating the unique qualities of this medium. The use of egg yolk as a binder in Tempera Paintings gives them a luminosity and depth that is hard to achieve with other mediums, making them a valuable addition to any art collection. The importance of Tempera Paintings in the contemporary art market cannot be overstated, as they offer a unique perspective and texture that other mediums cannot match.

Tempera paintings have been around for centuries, but contemporary artists continue to use this medium to create stunning works of art. Here are some well-known contemporary tempera paintings:
"The Adoration of the Kings" by Kehinde Wiley, created in 2017, is a large-scale painting featuring three black men on horseback surrounded by a group of people. The artwork reinterprets the traditional Christian scene and addresses issues of race, power, and representation.
"The Virgin and Child" by Andrew Wyeth, created in 2012, is a delicate and intimate painting of a mother and child. The artist uses tempera to create a soft, almost ethereal atmosphere, capturing the tenderness of the moment.
"The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Fred Wessel, created in 2015, is a triptych that explores the relationship between humans and the natural world. The artist uses bright colors and intricate details to create a surreal and playful landscape.
