Description
T: Hui-kung and Ch'ia-kung Fan Ch'i was from Chiang-ning in Chiangsu province. He was known as one of the Eight Masters of Nanking, a circle of great artists working in that city at the end of the Ming Dynasty. He was also well regarded as a poet. This album leaf, mounted as a hanging scroll, displays a crisp and clear environment, meticulously painted in a style that has roots in the great traditions of the Sung masters. His work also reflects knowledge of Western perspective, which was gaining favor among the artists in Nanking. The connoisseur and collector Chou Liang-kung acted as a patron to Fan Ch'i.
