Compared with modern landscape painting, traditional landscape painting is more popular with the public.

It's not that the ancients' ability is not strong, but that the mood of modern people is different from that of the ancients.

At that time, the society was comfortable, so the realm that everyone pursued was to be at peace with the world and the lines were random; Now the competition is fierce, and everyone's aesthetics can't help but develop to exquisite, delicate and realistic. This is due to the times.

If you really like art, you don't have to care about the times, just what kind of school you like. Great painters never ask the needs of the times; But if you just want to make money or something, you can learn to be antique or realistic (modern landscape), and don't confuse the two, because painting is born of the heart, and the heart is not directed at painting, but will be reflected in the pen, and painting is chaotic.
