DiaporamaMountain Scenery with Streams and Pavilions in the Style of Fan Kuan
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 studied with the influential painter-theorist Dong Qichang. Under his guidance, Wang embarked on an intensive study of old master styles, eventually incorporating a broad view of painting history into his own personal style. In this work, Wang explores the manner of the great eleventh-century artist Fan Kuan, adopting the earlier master’s jagged contour lines and signature “raindrop” texture stroke to add a tactile quality to the rocky cliffs.
