Rock and Insects. Ju Lian (居廉). Ink and color on silk, circular fan leaves, mounted. 1896.
Part of the Lingnan School of Chinese painters in the late Qing Dynasty, Ju Lian (1828-1904) was a painter native to Panyu (番禺), now a district of Guangzhou. He would later come to mentor the brothers Gao JianfuandGao Qifeng, two artists who popularized the theme of incorporating modern, eclectic elements of Western painting into their traditional subjects — a theme that would later become a signature of the Lingnan School.
