章节摘录

版权页：   插图：    Lamqua was only one ofthe top painters of export paintings in Guangzhou. After all,few of the painters, or rather,artisan-painters rose to fame in the end. Most of them only painted all kindsof export paintings according to the order of foreign merchants without aname. The export paintings portrayed various objects: habitual sights in thestreet, craftsmen in all lines, displays in the shop, varieties of birds, flowersand insects and so on. Regarding the sizes, the export paintings containedboth large portraits or landscapes and small works about the size of a postalcard. And the painting media of the export paintings included oil and watercolor, with some additional line drawings. Today, quite a few export paintings from Guangzhou can still be found in overseas auction markets, revealing the great number of the export paintings at the time. The paintings werealso exported to America besides Western Europe, but viewed from thesource of their painting skills and choice of painting style, the export paintings reflected the development path of the relations between Guangzhou andWestern Europe more evidently. A large proportion of the export paintings were botanical and zoologicalillustrations. The illustrations were taken back to Europe as gifts for familiesand friends, but they were initially associated with the development of natural history in Western Europe. In the early Western European merchant shipsto China, there were usually natural historians on board. They often drew thelocal peculiar plants and animals and took the illustrations back home for future research. We know the famous Swedish natural historian Carl von Linne,who established taxonomy. One of his students Pehr Osbeck traveled toGuangzhou as an onboard priest on a ship of Swedish East India Companyduring 1851-1852. During his stay in Guangzhou, he collected many botanical specimens and drew detailed pictures of them. However, it was still notenough to have a thorough grasp of the native flora of China only dependingon these natural historians.
