There were oil paintings in the western artistic tradition, and then there were ink wash paintings in the east

Due to econoraphy and modernization, the west surpassed China in its ability to influence culture It could be said that the West has made its leap over to the East first

Many hundreds of years had passed from the time the missionaries first arrived in China until the ti abroad During that period of ti art in the southern trading ports of the Qing Dynasty Therefore, oil painters had first appeared in China during the Qing Dynasty

A master was Spoilum

There was little information on Spoilum on the internet Hence, Li Du did not know an Stanley did have a decent amount of information on Spoilum

“Spoilu dynasty artto the people and allowed it to spread and beco to the research I did the day before, Spoilus were sold for ten US dollars apiece back then”

Logan Stanley shook his head “This isn’t enough to prove authenticity Of course, it will be useful to analyze the style and handwriting”

“If we can’t be certain that this is Spoilus drop?” Hans asked, concerned
