| 内容简介(英文) | Large Landscape Painting Yuan Chiang (18th c.) Ch’ing Dynasty Yuan Chiang, a native of Yangchow, served as a court painter in the Yung-cheng era (1723-1735). In landscapes, he followed Sung (960-1279) artists and his paintings of buildings were exceptionally detailed. Thus, he was praised as the best “ruled-line” architecture painter in the Ch’ing dynasty. Yuan Chiang often painted grand and imposing landscape scenes. His texture stroke method for describing rocks and slopes was quite unique as he developed his own style of landscape painting in the early Ch’ing dynasty. This work was donated to the Museum by Mr. Huang Chun-pi, the modern master of Chinese painting. There is no seal or signature of the artist, but Huang had attributed it to Yuan Chiang. |
