with examples. ( class 11th English hornbill ) who give me correct answer I mark him as brainlist​

Answer 1

In the Chinese view, art is a representation of the mind or the spirit, whereas in the European view, it is of the figure or the body. While Chinese paintings reveal the inner world, the European paintings lay emphasis on a true representation of the physical appearance of the subject.

The examples of paintings by Wu Daozi and Quinten Metsys are representative of this difference. The painting by Metsys is life-like. It is an exact representation of a fly. The painting of Daozi, on the other hand, is not only beautiful but alive too. It has a way within that only the painter is aware of.
