The author of this group of illustrators is Thomas Amoy, who was born in 1804 in Britain and later became one of the top British architects. In the 1830s, he went to Syria, Palestine and other Western Asian countries and created hundreds of paintings rich in rich oriental customs
However, he has never been to China. This group of illustrations was published in 1843. It was created by him according to the previous paintings of others and referring to the relevant words, giving play to his imagination and creativity. Therefore, there are many Western elements in this group of paintings that do not conform to the Chinese tradition
This may also be the imagination of many Westerners about the ancient oriental country at that time. In addition, the painting is highly skilled and the pictures are exquisite. Therefore, this group of paintings was popular after they were published. Xiao Bian will distribute more than 100 paintings one after another for everyone to enjoy and criticize
See the first episode:
Before the advent of photography technology, the big clear images under the British paintbrush (I)
Today, the second group of 20 pictures, mainly paintings in Tianjin, Shandong and Jiangsu, are released.
本组插画的作者是 托马斯.阿罗姆,1804年出生在英国,后成为英国顶尖的建筑师。1830年代他到过叙利亚、巴勒斯坦等西亚国家,创作了数百幅富含浓郁东方风情的画作。
但是,他却不曾到过中国,本组插画发布于1843年,是他根据之前他人的画作,并参考相关文字,发挥自己的想象力与创造力,创作而出,所以本组画作中有出现很多不符合中国传统的西方元素。
这可能也是当时很多西方人对于遥远东方古国的想象,加上画工高深,画面精美,所以本组画作发表后,受到人们的热捧。小编将把这100多幅画作陆续都发出来,供大家欣赏批判。
