Comparative analysis of Dutch art and impressionism through an interdisciplinary method

Abstract

This study aims to understand the characteristics of art movements through interdisciplinary research methods that include art history, network analysis, and image processing. We conducted research at three levels-macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic-to reconsider the historical relevance of the art movement. In this study, we mainly focused on the difference between Dutch art and Impressionism, and the usage of blue pigment as a criterion to compare traditional and modern art groups. The results of the analyses provide a holistic perspective for enriching historical knowledge of art movements.
