The Color and Artistic Features of Murals in Dunhuang Cave 465 in Mogao Grottoes

Murals in Dunhuang Cave 465 of the Mogao Grottoes exhibit unique color expression, particularly in green hues, distinguishing them from other Tibetan Buddhist paintings typically characterized by warm red tones. The study reveals that these murals have undergone significant changes due to natural factors like time, physics, and geology, resulting in rich color layers and a current state of 'coldness.' The research analyzes painting materials, compares artistic features with those found in Kizil grottoes, and highlights the local inheritance and historical uniqueness of the materials used. This analysis underscores the special research and artistic value of Cave 465's murals.
