Appreciation of Works
In "Madame Bovary", Flaubert can use very fine brushstrokes in describing scenes, narratives and people, making all the depictions and depictions lifelike. "The Marquis's residence is a modern building, with Italian-style wings stretching forward, three steps, and a large lawn connected to it. There are a few cows grazing, and there are clumps of big trees at equal distances on both sides..."
This kind of scene description is in line with the "extensive and deliberate decoration of miniature paintings...exhausting the ability to describe, the lines are as thin as silk, neat and delicate, and every detail is visible. It can be said that it is as subtle as it is vast." The characteristic is not that painting is better than painting. It can be said that it is through this miniature narrative art method that Flaubert endowed the iconic narrative and tablet narrative of Madame Bovary with practical and infinitely rich connotations.
