从囿于宫墙到另眼相看——论西方油画在明清上层阶级视野中的嬗变

From Being Limited by Palace Walls to Paying Special Regard——On Change of Western Oil Painting in the Vision of Upper Class in Ming and Qing

油画自明代万历年间进入中国起直到清朝末年,其间经历了三百余年的不短光景。在此期间,这一舶来艺术长期囿于宫廷院墙之内,供皇帝以及上层阶级观赏玩味,极少有机会在中国实现其真正的本土化。鸦片战争后,随着国门的被迫开放,国人逐渐开始转变对于西方文明的看法,而油画艺术也得以被上层阶级重新审视。这一变化,为20世纪以来油画在中国的本土化进程打下了重要的基础。

Since oil painting being introduced to China in Wanli Period in Ming to the end of Qing,there were over 300 years.During this time,this imported art was long limited within palace walls and was only for appreciation by the empires and upper class,but had little chance to realize its true localization in China.After the Opium War,with China's gate being forced to open,Chinese people gradually changed their idea about western civilization,and the art of oil painting regained the attention of upper class.This change made a significant basis for the localization process of oil painting in China since the beginning of 20th century.
