Culture Origins of Western Oil Painting and Ancient Chinese Poetry

-- Taking Idyllic and Patriotic Themes as Examples

Abstract

A strikingly similar picture of reality is found in different backgrounds between Western oil painting and Chinese poetry in light of the collision and comparison between Chinese and Western cultures in Western oil painting and Chinese poetry. One using poetry and the other using painting, though separated by thousands of years and thousands of mountains. It demonstrates how cultural profundity and tolerance bring different forms of expression to art. We hope to encourage the development of future research, as well as the different forms of artistic expression of culture, anticipating future breakthroughs in art.
