【正文】 文化背景知識Painting StylesWhen we speak of painting styles ing and going, we often think in terms of a decade or so of prominence in this century, perhaps twice that length of time in the previous century, and a generation or two in the century before that. As painting has developed in the art of man, the lifespan of a given style of painting has decreased in duration geometrically. Broadly speaking, for instance, the socalled “Renaissance” style of painting spans a hundred years or more. The mannerist style of painting that followed it somewhat less than that, perhaps 75 years, while the Baroque era lasted anywhere from 75 to 100 years depending upon which art historian you prefer. Moving back a century or so, early Christian art, sometimes called Byzantine art was little changed for perhaps 1,000 years. Talk about a style with legs! A Madonna and Child fresco painting from the Catab of Priscilla in Rome dates from the third century. It features a sitting Madonna holding a childlike Christ on her lap. Stylistically, it is little different from one painted in the 1300’s by the Italian artist, Duccio. The Duccio panel is rich in heavy gold leaf and much more linear in design with the Madonna enthroned in what would appear to be a circular seat that would appear to have been modelled after the Coliseum. The third century fresco, in contrast, lacks a halo and actually seems more naturalistic than the Duccio figure. It seems possible, if not certain, that Duccio might have been familiar with the catab fresco. Whatever the case, though different, there is little doubt that stylistically, they are cut from the same thousandyearold cloth. Pursuing Madonna and child paintings down through Giotto, (a student of Duccio) to Massaccio (a student of Giotto) to his student, Piero della Francesca we can watch generation by generation as the Byzantine slowly gave birth to the Renaissance like a mother giving birth to a child. Traditional Chinese PaintingNext to the supremely difficult art of calligraphy, the Chinese have for centuries seen painting as the highest form of art. Chinese paintings have an air of living nature, harmony and peace that is not always found in the art of other civilizations. Like all other forms of art, the Chinese strive to maintain a delicate, harmonious balance between tradition and innovation. Painting originated in the late Chou Dynasty, and its roots were cult
