Painting is one of the finest medium of communication. As it commonly said, a picture is worth a thousand words so it is obvious that an intensely beautiful painting is worth a billion.

Origin: The concept of a distinct category of fine art is an invention of the early modern period in the West.

Use:   One definition of fine art is "a visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic and intellectual purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness, specifically, painting, sculpture, drawing, watercolor, graphics, and architecture”.
