由于传世品和文献资料较为缺乏,辽代绘画研究一直是中国美术史研究中一个薄弱环节。近半个世纪以来,考古发现的大量墓葬壁画在一定意义上弥补了绘画史料的空白。这些资料近年来引起了国内外研究者的关注,但相关的研究仍有待深入。张鹏的博士论文以辽代墓葬壁画为基础资料进行分析,对于推进辽代美术史的研究有比较重要的意义。 Due to the lack of articles and literature, Liao Dynasty painting has always been a weak link in the study of Chinese art history. Nearly half a century, a large number of archaeological tombs found in a certain sense to make up for the historical gaps in the painting. These data have aroused the attention of researchers at home and abroad in recent years, but the related research still needs further study. Zhang Peng’s doctoral dissertation, based on the data of the tombs and murals of the Liao Dynasty, is of great significance for advancing the study of the history of art in the Liao Dynasty.
