Wang Jian (1598 – 1677)
Explore the serene landscapes of Wang Jian (1598-1677), a master of Chinese painting during the Qing Dynasty. Known for Dong Yuan-influenced style, his works evoke classic beauty.
Wang Jian, teacher of Wang Hui and close friend of Wang Shimin, stands at the center of the group of scholar-artists who endeavored to establish a new orthodoxy in painting through the vigorous study of past masters. In this gemlike album, Wang re-created in miniature scale the idioms of Song (960–1279) and Yuan (1279–1368) dynasty masters. Conscious of his own role as a transmitter, Wang inscribed each leaf with the name of the artist whose style he interpreted together with an appropriate couplet by the Tang dynasty poet Du Fu (712–770).
