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

Strange how everyone mentions technical stuff like reference and preservation yet i think the main reason was noone had the free time/security to do so ?
Most people doing this are kids during their free time, and the good stuff you see are extremely talented/driven out of thousands. People had to do “useful stuff” at time.
Also their was a lot less people so less raw number of “geniuses”.
