Painting on wood dates back to Ancient Egypt, with the Fayum Mummy Portraits (1st century BCE–3rd century CE) being some of the earliest examples. The Byzantine era (5th–15th century) saw the rise of religious icons painted with egg tempera on wood, a tradition continued in Gothic altarpieces across Europe.
