The study,published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard and Sorbonne universities,analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901. Scientists don't know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data. However,researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long- term environmental change with the air pollution. In particular,researchers said changes in local sulfur dioxide emissions from burning coal may explain changes in the color contrast and intensity (of Turner's,Monet's,and others' works,even after taking into account the artistic trends and subject matter of the time. Scientists successfully measured painters'representation of nature,focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced color in works painted in different parts of Europe. Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent.Generally,artists can historically accurately represent their environment,so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution,when air pollution grew at a rate never seen before. Additionally,researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted,the cities would appear hazier(更模糊的)to the eyes as well as in photographs.By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era,they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions.
