Description
T: T'ien-ch'ih H: P'ing-shan ching-chu Chang Lu was from K'ai-feng in Honan province and later moved to Nanking. Chang was a follower of Wu Wei, but had neither the poor temperament nor the addictions to drink and gambling that plagued the older artist. He was a popular painter who, like Wu, had not completed his education and so had no official status in society: thus, he frequently was subject to the whims of high-ranking officials. This painting depicts a well-known story about the Sung scholar, poet, and statesman Su Tung-p'o, who was banished from the capital but who returns to the Hanlin Academy absolved and triumphant after a meeting with the empress dowager.
