Description
Traditional Chinese painting is one of the purest forms of art still in existence, continuing the techniques and motifs that have been used for centuries to create the most magnificent works in ink and wash. Whether meticulously realistic or full of expression, they often skillfully combine calligraphy with stunning drawing, all paying homage to what came before. Focusing on classical painting, especially colorful works from the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties, this captivating book showcases the fascinating history of Chinese painting. From Dai Jin to Ma Quan; from dramatic mountain landscapes and tranquil rivers, to intricate and vibrant depictions of animals and flowers, and peaceful pastoral scenes and lively court life images, engaging text and rich reproductions provide a charming reading experience.
