Watercolor painting in Europe has a long and distinguished tradition, dating back to the late Middle Ages when artists used watercolor to illustrate manuscripts and botanical studies. During the Renaissance, it became a valued medium for preparatory sketches and detailed naturalist works, especially in Germany and the Netherlands. By the 18th and 19th centuries, watercolor developed into a respected art form, particularly in England and France, where it was used for landscapes, architectural studies, and travel scenes. Its transparency, luminous colors, and ability to capture atmosphere made it a favorite for European artists seeking both precision and expressive freedom.
