A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
What is Western art? It is hard to give a precise① definition②.As there have been so many different styles③ of Western art[1], it is impossible to describe them all in a short text. Perhaps the best way to understand Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries[2].
[1]画线部分是as引导的原因状语从句,as意为“因为,由于”。
[2]动词不定式短语to understand Western art在句中作定语,修饰the best way;动词不定式短语to look at ...在句中作表语。
The Middle Ages④ (from the 5th to the 15th century)
During the Middle Ages, the purpose of Western art was to teach people about Christianity⑤[3].Thus, artists were not interested in painting realistic⑥ scenes.Their works were often primitive⑦ and twodimensional⑧, and the main characters⑨ were often made much larger than everyone else to show their importance[4].This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone⑩(1267-1337).While his paintings still had religious themes⑪[5], they showed real people in a real environment.In particular⑫, his paintings are set apart from⑬ other paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact⑭.
[3]动词不定式短语to teach people about Christianity在句中作表语。
[4]动词不定式短语to show their importance作目的状语。
[5]画线部分是while引导的让步状语从句,while意为“虽然,尽管”。
The Renaissance⑮(from the 14th to the 17th century)
New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages[6].As a result⑯, painters concentrated less on⑰ religious themes.They began to adopt⑱ a more humanistic⑲ attitude to⑳ life.An important breakthrough㉑ during this period was the use of perspective㉒ by Masaccio㉓ (1401-1428).Influential㉔ painters such as Leonardo da Vinci㉕ (1452-1519),Michelangelo㉖ (1475-1564),and Raphael㉗ (1483-1520) built upon

Giotto and Masaccio's innovations㉘to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen[7].
[6]画线部分中的不定代词ones代替上文出现的ideas and values。
[7]在to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen中动词不定式短语作目的状语;关系代词that引导定语从句,修饰先行词art。
Another innovation was the use of oil paints.With their deep colours and realism[8], some of the best oil paintings look like photographs.While painters as early as Da Vinci had used oil, this technique reached its height with Rembrandt㉙ (1606-1669), who gained a reputation㉚ as a master of shadow and light[9].
[8]介词短语With their deep colours and realism在句中作原因状语。
[9]画线部分是关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Rembrandt,且who在从句中作主语。
In subject matter, the emphasis㉛ increasingly shifted from religious themes to㉜ people and the world around us.Kings, nobles㉝, and people of high rank㉞wanted to purchase㉟ accurate pictures of themselves and the people they loved[10].Others wanted paintings showing important historical events or stories from mythology㊱[11].Finally, most clients㊲ wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at[12].
[10]they loved为省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词people。
[11]画线部分为动词ing形式短语作后置定语,修饰名词paintings。
[12]画线部分是关系代词that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词paintings。
Impressionism㊳(late 19th to early 20th century)
The development of Western art slowed until the invention of photography㊴ in the mid19th century.After that, paintings were no longer needed to preserve㊵what people and the world looked like[13].

Hence㊶, painters had to find a new way of looking at their art.From this, Impressionism emerged㊷ in France.The name of this new movement came from the painting by Claude Monet㊸ (1840-1926) called Impression, Sunrise㊹[14].In this work, Monet's aim was to convey㊺ the light and movement in the scene[15]—the subjective㊻ impression the scene gave him[16]—but not a detailed㊼ record of the scene itself.
[13]what people and the world looked like是what引导的名词性从句,作动词preserve的宾语。
[14]动词ed形式短语called Impression, Sunrise作后置定语,修饰名词painting。
[15]动词不定式短语to convey the light ...在句中作表语。
[16]the scene gave him是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词impression。
While many Impressionists painted scenes of nature or daily life, others, such as Renoir㊽ (1841-1919), focused on㊾ people.Unlike the cold, blackandwhite photographs of that time period, Renoir's paintings are full of light, shadow, colour, and life.He sought㊿ to show not just the outer image of his subjects, but their inner warmth and humanity as well.[17]
[17]not just the outer image of his subjects, but their inner warmth and humanity as well中not ... but ...意为“不是……而是……”,连接两个并列的名词短语,作动词show的宾语。
Modern Art (from the 20th century to today)
After Impressionism, subsequentartists began to ask,“What do we do next?” Painters such as Picasso (1881-1973) tried to analyse the shapes which existed in the natural world[18] but in a new way, with Cubism.Others gave their paintings a realistic but dreamlike quality.Still others turned to abstractart.What they attempted to do was no longer show reality, but instead to ask the question, “What is art?”
[18]which existed in the natural world是关系代词which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the shapes。

西方绘画简史
什么是西方艺术?很难给出一个明确的定义。由于西方艺术风格多种多样,不可能在一篇短文中描述全部。也许,了解西方艺术的最好方法就是回顾若干个世纪以来西方绘画的发展。
中世纪时期(5-15世纪)
中世纪时期,西方艺术的目的是向人们传授基督教。因此,艺术家们对描绘真实场景并无兴趣。他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化,主体人物也通常被塑造得比其他人高大许多,以显示其重要性。13世纪乔托·迪·邦多纳(1267-1337)的出现改变了这一现象。尽管他的绘画仍是宗教主题,但展示了真实环境中的真实人物。他的绘画尤其以逼真的人脸和强烈的情感冲击而与众不同。
文艺复兴时期(14-17世纪)
新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪时期旧的思想和价值观。因此,画家们较少关注宗教主题。他们开始对生活采取一种更为人性化的态度。这一时期的一项重大突破是马萨乔(1401-1428)对透视法的运用。一些颇具影响力的画家,例如莱昂纳多·达·芬奇(1452-1519)、米开朗琪罗(1475-1564)和拉斐尔(1483-1520),在乔托和马萨乔的创新基础上继续发展,创作出欧洲前所未见的一些最伟大的艺术作品。
另一大创新是油性颜料的使用。凭借其浓重的色彩和写实主义,一些最好的油画作品看上去与照片相似。尽管早在达·芬奇时代,一些画家就使用油彩绘画,但伦勃朗(1606-1669)使得这种技艺达到顶峰,他拥有“光影大师”的雅称。
在题材方面,重心日益从宗教主题转向我们身边的人与世界。国王、贵族和地位显赫的人都想购买自己及其所爱之人的精确画像,而其他人想要的则是展示重大历史事件或神话故事的绘画。最后,大多数顾客想要的是漂亮、有趣的绘画用来欣赏。
印象派时期(19世纪末-20世纪初)
在19世纪中叶摄影术发明之前,西方艺术发展缓慢。摄影术发明之后,绘画不再需要保留人与世界的模样。因此,画家必须找到一种新的方式来看待他们的艺术。于是,印象主义在法国应运而生。这项新运动的名称源自克劳德·莫奈(1840-1926)名为《日出·印象》的绘画作品。在这幅作品里,莫奈的目的是传递场景中的光与运动即场景给予他的主观印象,而非对场景本身的一种具体记录。
虽然许多印象派画家描绘的是大自然或日常生活中的场景,但是雷诺阿(1841-1919)等其他画家却侧重于人物。与那一时期冷色调的黑白照片不同,雷诺阿的绘画饱含光影、色彩和生活元素。他力求既展示主题人物的外在形象,又展现其内在的温暖和人性。
现代艺术时期(20世纪至今)
在印象主义之后,后来的艺术家们开始发问:“接下来我们应该做什么?”毕加索(1881-1973)等画家试图分析自然世界中存在的形状,但是以一种新的方式——立体主义。其他画家则赋予自己的绘画一种写实却又梦幻般的品质。还有一些画家则转向抽象艺术。他们所做的尝试不再是展示现实,而是提出这一问题:“艺术是什么?”
