Carefully planned and compiled by Tangmao Book Industry, the "Influence Art Treasury" series of books is divided into two volumes: Red Volume (Chinese Classical Painting) and Blue Volume (Western Classical Painting). Currently, the published books (painting section) have reached 40 types. The series selects the most influential classic works of Chinese and Western classical painting and supplements them with valuable information such as the author, creation date, content, material and technique, dimensions, collector, influence index, and related legends. In terms of image processing and binding design, bold innovations have been made to achieve a perfect unity of content and form.
Like other art forms, painting reflects the author's thoughts, emotions, and aesthetic consciousness, and it is also a reflection of the era and life. This series of books will guide readers to appreciate painting art, experience the essence and profound heritage of Chinese and Western cultures, and enhance their personal taste and cultural refinement. Western landscape painting, since the 14th-century Renaissance, has evolved through Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, and 20th-century Modernism, showcasing a trajectory based on humanism and a rich and complex artistic landscape, with countless masterpieces from renowned artists. For example, Rubens' "The Return from the Fields" features a light and flowing brushwork, renowned for its magnificent Baroque style; Boucher's "Happy Village" is exquisite and elegant, filled with the languid charm of Rococo; Turner's "The Fighting Temeraire" presents unpredictable colors and unparalleled light and shadow.
This album selects classic Western landscape works from the mid-19th century and earlier. Each piece is accompanied by information such as the author's name, country of origin, content, material, dimensions, technique, collector, and influence index, making it highly valuable. The album features a novel binding and exquisite text. The introductory section, "Getting Closer to Western Painting," also provides readers with knowledge about the painting, appreciation, and collection of Western oil paintings, as well as how to use this book.
