I recommend you to read the historical novel " Reborn as a Painter in France ". The protagonist of the novel, Mr. Tony Monet, was a middle school art teacher, but he had a profound influence on the history of European art in the late 19th century. He had some exchanges and guidance with some historical artists such as Van Gogh and picador. This novel is full of art. If you are interested in art, you will definitely like it. At the same time, if you are interested in history, this novel will also let you understand the artistic atmosphere of 19th century Europe. I hope you will like my recommendation.️
