西方传统的宇宙观认为人是自然的中心,自然是为人创造的,自然因人的需要而存在,人即是自然的主人,人可以随心所欲的控制、改造自然。 表现在艺术观中,创作常常以人为中心的、希腊神话中的诸神,文艺复兴时期绘画与雕塑中的圣母、天使、魔鬼其实都是客观世界现实人的化身,人占据了绝对的统治地位,因此以表现人为主的肖像画和肖像雕塑占据中心。 Western traditional cosmology considers man as the center of nature, naturally created for mankind, and naturally exists for human needs. Man is the natural master, and man can control and transform nature as he wishes. In the view of art, the creation is often man-centered. The gods, angels and demons in the Greek mythology, Renaissance paintings and sculptures are in fact the embodiment of the real people in the objective world, and the people occupy the absolute dominance , So portrait-based portraits and portraits take center stage.
