Why did European and Asian art development diverge so much?

Why did European and Asian art development diverge so much?

East Asia may have lagged behind tech wise but they were extremely prosperous and highly developed societies. Artists like painters do not require an industrial revolution

    Reinassance was trigerred because all of europe was sending gibs and tribute to the vatican, a religious institution with ornamental and symbolic purpose.
    The vatican created a entire orbit of artist arround itself to propell its influence, artisany needs demand and the vatican alltogether with the trade and religion center italy was DID created demand for artistic development.

    Other places did not had a leech religious institution financing art on demand with the tribute from an entire continent.

    Other two factors is that asians just saw art as representative, not imitative.

    China had perspective painting before da Vinci invented it for you. Could have developed from Marco Polo's (or his contemporaries) souvenirs.

    If you can't make a living out of art you won't have artists

        Art was already established by the high middle ages/reinassance
        The rest just followed that process

    European painting as a whole surpassed East Asia only after the Renaissance. East Asia stagnated at all levels during the Renaissance, and the Qing Dynasty paintings looked the same artistic style as the Tang one thousand years ago.

      The exact opposite happened, European and East Asian art followed a similar pattern where realism was replaced with a move towards more abstract representation

      Nonsense, Tang and Qing painting look nothing alike, what similarity is there between Zhou Fang and Bada Shanren

    Because of their proximity it took longer for roman art techniques to diffuse their way to East Asia

    i always wondered why Japanese art conveys expressions the way it does. It seems quite different to Chinese art, though I'm no expert
