I’m asking because paintings, whether on the wall of a cave, or on generally of a King or Queen in ancient times look quite weird. Not necessarily in a bad way, it has its own cool art style, but they are not realistic or anywhere close.
If human beings have a natural talent, photographic memory or incredible artistic ability today where they can make TikToks of painting ultra realistic art with fire, chalk or charcoal etc Why do we almost never see realism in painting/artistic history? I’m talking paintings specifically not sculptures btw

I’m gonna bring up a point I haven’t read yet and that is the difference in human consciousness.
In early human development every action and effect were the consequence of a great force or other God like being.
As we became more dense in the material world as beings, we started to see the world around us in a different way. Especially with the development of science, we started to give more weight and reality to the material world. Seeing the same things with a different eye and mind.
They didn’t have a form of “realism” because they experienced reality very differently.
That’s my two cents anyway.
