Why Do Paintings Last Forever?

Paintings can last a long time because they’re made from special materials that don’t break down easily. Think of it like using strong glue and color powder that won’t fade or fall off, even if they're kept in the dark for hundreds of years. Some paintings are so old, we still see them today, just as bright and beautiful as when they were first made.
