What is
Canvas?

Canvas is a versatile surface traditionally used in art, particularly painting. It's a strong fabric, usually made from cotton, linen, or synthetic fibers, and is stretched over a wooden frame or panel to provide a flat surface for artists to work on. While not a dish in the culinary sense, the term 'canvas' can metaphorically refer to a blank slate for creativity or expression in various contexts.

Origins & History

Canvas has a rich history dating back several centuries, primarily associated with painting. It is believed to have originated in the 14th century in Europe, being used by artists like the Italian Renaissance masters. The word 'canvas' comes from the Latin 'cannabis', referring to hemp, which was one of the earliest materials used for making the fabric.
