西方绘画在“艺术模仿自然”的观念指引下,艺术与科学密切相连,绘画与光影息息相关。老普林尼[Pliny,the Eider]在《博物志》[Natural History]中认为,西方绘画起源于人们描绘自己的影子的轮廓。~1在他看来,第一幅绘画其实是对影子的表现,是对一个副本的再绘,他通过影子的寓言解释了早期绘画。虽然,在现在看来,我们会认为老普林尼的观点是偏颇的。事实上,在普林尼生活的时代,绘画已经不再是对影子的描绘,而是利用光影呈现立体幻像的“镜像”绘画。具象画家观看三维的事物并创造出二维的绘画,而这二维的绘画又要让观者呈 Under the guidance of the concept of “Art imitates nature”, Western painting is closely linked with science and science. Painting is closely related to light and shadow. Pliny, the Eider, in Natural History, argues that Western paintings originated in the contours of the shadows that people paint themselves. In his opinion, the first painting is actually a representation of the shadow and a repaint of a copy. He explains the early paintings through a shadow parable.
