I suspect that way-back-when, paintings were trappings of the wealthy — a luxury to purchase something that serves no useful purpose other than to decorate a wall and maybe show off to visitors. A truly fine painting may do good things for the soul; but I expect that the great majority of paintings were really no more than wall decoration.
