What Makes a Painting 'Timeless'?

A timeless painting is one that feels as special today as it did a long time ago. Like a favorite story you tell over and over, a timeless painting stays interesting no matter how many times you see it. It might use simple shapes or colors that feel familiar, like the way your grandma’s quilt always makes you smile. Some paintings even make people think about big ideas, like love, life, or death, which is why they stay with us for generations.
