DiaporamaDuke Wen of Jin Recovering His State
Classical Chinese Painting
1101
29.0 x 828.0 cm
This handscroll tells the story of the exile and return to power of Chonger, duke of the ancient state of Jin. Driven from his home by a succession crisis, Chonger spent nineteen years in exile seeking support from other states before returning in triumph to assume the title Duke of Jin in 636 B.C. Though unsigned, the painting has long been attributed to the court painter Li Tang, who served in both the Northern and Southern Song painting academies. The calligraphy, written in the style of Emperor Gaozong, was probably written by a scribe on his behalf.
