Cultural background significantly influences the understanding and interpretation of paintings. Viewers' perceptions are shaped by their cultural norms, symbols, historical context, and aesthetic preferences, leading to varied emotional responses and meanings. For instance, Eastern and Western audiences may focus differently on focal objects versus contextual elements in artworks. Studies show an ingroup bias, where people prefer and better comprehend art from their own culture, though expertise can moderate this. Overall, culture deeply affects aesthetic appreciation and depth of insight.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-14128-7
