What is western painting and what does it include?

Western painting emphasizes the use of color, typical of which is Raphael's Athens Academy. This is also the most essential difference between western painting and Chinese painting. In the eyes of modernist painters who are committed to pursuing pure art, traditional painting is mixed with too many "non-artistic impurities". In fact, western traditional painting is not about art, but about many non-artistic aspects while paying attention to artistry. This is probably an important sign that traditional painting is different from modernist painting. The impurity of traditional painting in art is mainly manifested in utility and description.
