On June 12th, the opening ceremony of the 3rd Italian Cultural Festival of Northwest University was held on Chang’an Campus with the theme of “Where Ink Arts Meets with the Oil Painting”.
The theme of this festival is “Where Ink Arts Meets with the Oil Painting”, which aims to let teachers and students understand the artistic characteristics and restoration concepts of Chinese and Western works through the comparison of typical frescoes and oil paintings.
