A panel painting is a painting on a panel made of wood, either a single piece, or a number of pieces joined together. Until canvas became the more popular support medium in the 16th century, it was the normal form of support for a painting not on a wall (fresco) or on vellum, which was used for miniatures in illuminated manuscripts and also for paintings for framing.
