| 内容简介（英文） | Landscapes Wang Hsueh-hao (1754-1832) Ch’ing Dynasty Wang Hsueh-hao (style name Meng-yang, sobriquet Chiao-hsi) was a native of K’un-shan in Kiangsu. He became a Provincial Graduate of 1786. Wang Hsueh-hao traveled through areas of the ancient states of Yen, Ch’in, Ch’u, and Yueh, doing sketches from life along the way. This album of 12 leaves, donated by Mr. Lin Ch’eng-tao, is rendered in the manners of Sung and Yuan dynasty painters. Done in 1821, the coloring is quite tranquil and the atmosphere archaic and elegant. The brushwork is hoary and mature, while the structure is refined and delicate, the use of texture strokes creating dense landscape forms. The mountain forms follow a diagonal into the background, presenting an outstanding sense of space in the landscape. |
