Painting is used as a mode of representing, documenting and expressing all the varied intents and subjects that are as numerous as there are practitioners of the craft. Paintings can be [[naturalistic]] and [[representational]] (as in a still life or landscape painting), photographic, [[abstract]], be loaded with narrative content, [[symbolism]], emotion or be political in nature. A large portion of the history of painting is dominated by spiritual motifs and ideas; sites of this kind of painting range from artwork depicting mythological figures on pottery to biblical scenes rendered on the interior walls and ceiling of [[The Sistine Chapel]] to depictions of the human body itself as a spiritual subject.
