The handsome guy's shoes, neckline and sleeves in The Boy in Blue not only have lace and bows, but also small metal pieces and embroidery. The artist's faint brushwork vividly shows the silk texture of the clothes in The Boy in Blue, as if you could feel its softness and femininity. Thanks to China's silk!
In the eighteenth century, blue could not be the main body of painting. Thomas Kong Sboro is not a professional, but his paintings are very good, with many fans and high popularity, which makes Reynolds, the first president of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, often regard his works as negative materials in class and often tell students that the blue tone cannot occupy the main position of the painting page. Since then, no one has challenged authority. The result reached the ears of Thomas Kong Sboro, who was unconvinced and insisted on opposing Dean Lei. The boy in blue was born.
In this work, blue changed its tradition and became the absolute protagonist. With the rural scenery as the background, a farmer's son was boldly chosen as a model, and Leng Yan's blue dress was set off with rich colors such as yellow, red and gray-green, which made it look rich, luxurious, noble and elegant. In this blue battle, he won a great victory and became famous in one fell swoop.
