Meticulously planned and compiled by Tangmao Book Industry, the "Art Treasury of First Influence" series of books is divided into two parts: the Red Volume (Chinese Classical Painting) and the 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, supplemented by 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, as well as the reflection of the times 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, Lévy's "Spring Flood" captures the essence of the Russian land with exquisite light and color; Monet's "Water Lily Pond: Green Harmony" has been celebrated as the "Sistine Chapel of Impressionism"; while Matisse's "Luxembourg Gardens"s the viewer's soul with bold and unrestrained colors.
This book selects classic Western landscape works from the mid-19th century onwards, each 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 has an innovative binding design 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.
