The oil painting has been developed in China for over a hundred years since its introduction and has gone through many stages in the process, slowly moving from copying to creation to innovation, gradually realizing a Chinese and nationalized expression. The spread and development of oil painting in China have enabled the fusion of Western and Chinese cultures, not only making China's own national painting wonderful but also showing the world more innovations in oil painting, in the process forming the characteristics of the nation in terms of subject matter, expression forms and so on, which can reflect the nationality and national spirit. The aim of this article is to analyze and elaborate on the history of oil painting nationality, the construction of nationality, and the dissemination of oil painting nationality.
