If you mean Leonardo's painting it used the perspective, an invention which was then about 80 years old. Leonardo also invented some new paint to use here. It was a disaster and has deteriorated horribly.
It is a fresco made of dry plaster, a method of painting on plaster that is dried first and painted on later. Comparing this to the Minoan method of painting on wet plaster, this method did not do well in preserving the fresco as the fresco would fall off with the dry plaster if it cracks.The wet plaster made it easier for the paint to be absorbed as depicted in the Minoan artwork, the Bull Leaping scene, found in Knossos.
Several factors have contributed over time, but the first factor was that Leonardo, the inventor, did not want to use the usual kinds of paint and technique but invented his own, which did not function properly.
The national artist for painting who is from Macabebe, Pampanga was Vicente Manansala. He was awarded the First National Artist for Visual Arts in 1980.
