Art scene and representational painting
[edit]Hi User:Chas. Caltrop, thanks for your recent edit of the lead of this page: it made some good fixes.
However, I think that the original text, ‘’art scene’’, was preferable. This is since it was not just about the artists - it also had to do with the wealthy merchants willing to commission the paintings, competeting with each other etc. So I think that should be reverted.
Also I think adding ‘’representational’’ is not useful change. In the context all the art in this period is representational, and so this is adding jargon, without adding a useful distinction. Furthermore, I think that the emphasis on colour of the Venetian school probably did eventually influence abstract art too. For this one it might be useful to change it to a link to Western painting, since that is the tradition in which their influence appeared.
Also I don’t that restricting the influence to aesthetic is useful, or accurate. E.g. they introduced the new genre of reclining female nude; this became a popular genre, and hence also economically important in art history. But it is not primarily an aesthetic point - it is just a new subject.
Please explain here if you have any issues with these suggested changes.
