| 内容简介（英文） | Yun Hsiang was styled Pen-ch’u; his sobriquet was Hsiang-shan Weng. During the Ch’ung-chen reign (1628-1644) Yun Hsiang was recommended for office, but he eventually renounced public service and returned to his native home. He was fond of the literary arts and excelled as a painter of landscapes, attaining an air of strength and substantiality in his works. His early paintings are particularly forceful, entirely in the styles of the Five Dynasties (906-960) painters Tung Yuan and Chu-jan. Later in life he used ink sparingly, his conceptions approaching those of the Yuan painters Ni Tsan and Huang Kung-wang. Yun Hsiang’s nephew Yun Shou-p’ing, an important painter of the Ch’ing dynasty, served Yun Hsiang when he was young. This landscape reveals a clean and elegant use of brush and ink, and the atmosphere is pure and alluring. This painting was presented to the museum by Huang Chun-pi. |
