Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / about landscape painting | | French term or phrase: ... tels des témoignages de l’étude éclairée et scientifique du monde. | This is a phrase from the following sentence, and I just cannot fully grasp this last part. I guess it's "tels" that throws me off - I cannot make sense of the first part of the sentence in combination with the second.
Here is the whole sentence:
"En effet, si la nature a lontemps servi d’exercice et de décors aux sujets peints par les artistes, elle a très vite été étudiée et intégrée dans leurs œuvres ***tels des témoignages de l’étude éclairée et scientifique du monde***.
Thank you very much in advance! |
