A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by _(生活习俗与信仰) a people. _(西方的艺术风格) have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would _(不可能) describe all of them in such a short text. _(因此), this text will describe only _(最)important ones, _(start)from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, _(主要目标) of painters was_(represent) religious themes. A _(传统的) artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people _(如实地). A _(典型的) picture at this time _(充满了)religious _(特征), _ created feeling of respect and love for God. But _(我们很明显看出) that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious _(场景) in a more realistic way.The Renaissance (15th to 16th century) During the _(文艺复兴时期), new ideas and values graduallv _(取代)those held in the Middle Ages. People began to _(较少关注) religious themes and _(采取) a more _(人道主义的) attitude to life. _the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to _(拥有) their own paintings, so they could decorate their _(杰出的) palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists _ paint pictures of themselves, their houses and _(possess) as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things _(用透视法). This _(技能) was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were _(相信) that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one _(be) able to paint such realistic pictures. _(很巧合), oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours _(use) in paintings look richer and_(deep). _ the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great _(杰作) _which this period is famous.Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century) In the late 19th century, Europe changed _（大量）from a _(most)agricultural society to a mostly _(industry) one.

Among the painters who _(突破) the traditional style of painting were the _(印象派画家), _ lived and worked in Paris. The Impressionists were the first painters to work _(室外). They were eager to show_(如何) light and _(影子) fell on _(物体) _ different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed _those of earlier painters. _(起初), many people _(like)this style of painting and became very_(anger) about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were _(荒唐的).Modern Art (20th century to today) At the time they were _(被创建), the Impressionist paintings were _(争议的), but today they are accepted _ the beginning of what we call "modem art". This is because the Impressionists _(鼓励) artists to look at their environment _ new ways. There are _(几十) of modern art styles, but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. _(一方面), some modem art is _(抽象的); _(那就是说), the painter does not _(打算)paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead _(集中)certain qualities of the object, _(use) colour, line and shape to _(呈现)them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different.

You can visit an _(埃及的寺庙), a _(香的) Ming garden, a typical room in an 18th century French house and many other special _(展品).Museum of Modern Art (53rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues) It is _(令人惊奇的) that so many great works of art from the late 19th century to the 21st century are _(house) in the same museum.
