Chapter 319 (1/2)

Tang Huiqin and Liu Yizhi's research on the history of Western oil painting are still just following the map, pursuing the research of works and historical documents, and trying to restore a real history of oil painting evolution bit by bit.

But now, in addition to the known parts of the development history of these oil paintings mentioned by Su Linkou, there are many Xinmi that no one in the world has ever known. Su Lin knows all these things. The theoretical knowledge given to Su Lin in the system of cultivating the best beauties is so huge. As long as the details of events and theories of the field of painting in the world are all in Sulin's mind.

”Nonsense, Sulin, some of the things you just said are the history of oil painting. However, there are still many painters that I have never heard of. How come I have never heard of several painters who have made great contributions to oil painting? For example, the Italian bill Ralph, you said he promoted the development of romantic oil painting. How come I have never heard of this man? ”

Waiting for this moment, Yuan Hai refuted Su Lin in a loud voice. As a collector of oil paintings, he is very familiar with the famous oil painters in the West. However, he has never heard of several painters mentioned by Su Lin when he just expounded the history and genre of oil painting development. Therefore, he once again concluded that Sulin was boasting, talking nonsense, and making a fool of people by random names.

”It doesn't mean he doesn't exist if you haven't heard of it. At that time, his paintings were the representative of romanticism and the leading figure in Italy. However, due to offending the Italian dignitaries at that time and being jailed, almost all of his paintings were lost. Hundreds of years later, because no paintings were alive, his reputation was not obvious. However, in some of the European art history records, there should be some of his words. I think he played a great role in promoting the development of romantic oil painting. It was precisely because of his oil painting ideas that a large number of romantic painters emerged in Italy at that time... ”

Facing yuan Hai's question, Su Lin smiles and says.

But after Su Lin finished these words, Liu Yizhi, who had been listening to some fascination all the time, patted the table vigorously and exclaimed, ”OK! Sulin, you're right. In recent years, I have been looking for this work of bill Ralph in the art galleries of several European countries, but I can't find it. But according to my investigation and research in Italy, as you said, Bill Ralph is the pioneer of romantic oil painting in Italy. Even in the whole European romantic oil painting, Bill Ralph also plays an important role. However, because none of his works is in the world, it has been forgotten by the world. One of my major projects recently is to get bill Ralph's name right. Sulin, where did you read these records? Did you find any traces of bill Ralph's works handed down from generation to generation in these records

Liu Yizhi immediately got excited. This is an important topic he has been studying recently. Even his teacher Tang Huiqin has not had time to say it. But Su Lin, who is in front of him, unexpectedly casually points to this topic.

”What? Is there really bill Ralph? ” Yuan Hai was stunned again. Liu Yizhi admitted that he was still excited. Instead, he wanted to get some information from Su Lin.

”Uncle Liu, let's get back to business! In the funeral of Ornan, you can see the performance of every bystander. The grave digger, the relatives and friends of the dead, the peace keepers, judges, notaries, priests, mayors, etc., draw people into the resort, reveal the psychology of each character, and mercilessly depict Jian's fraud, greed and hypocrisy. Courbet vividly shows the realistic flag which is against the ”ideal beauty” of neoclassicism and the ”exaggeration beauty” of romanticism The same technique is used in grandma's painting. For the depiction of pedestrian expression, she must have learned from the techniques in the funeral of Ornan... ”

After a careful analysis, Su Lin turned to Tang Huiqin, who was smiling. ”Grandma, I'm just saying what I think. I don't know if it's true... ”
