Yuan Dynasty Mural  朝元图 depicting a heavenly court at the Yongle Palace. 

Ni Zan, Rongxi Studio, 1372, ink on paper.
Ni Zan (1301-1374) is considered to be one of the four great masters of the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368). Despite this his output as an artist was very limited and he chose similar motifs for each piece, making him in a sense the original Chinese series painter. His work often included mountains, shelter, trees and water but executed in a sparing style which boarded on offhanded, however his sparse technique somehow exudes a wistful atmosphere which is unique in itself.
As well as this Ni Zan was one of the pioneers in the concept of the three perfections, poetry, calligraphy and painting. Promoting the idea that a picture inscribed with a poem written in a complementary calligraphic style enhances the aesthetic accomplishment of the piece.

Ancestor Portrait

Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368)

Ink and Pigment on paper.

The Yuan Dynasty was founded by Ghengis Khan’s grandson, Kublai Khan, who established the Yuan Dynasty after subjugating China. Many of his appointed officials were of Mongol, Muslim, Tibetan, Uighar, and other non-Chinese origins. This portrait, done in Chinese manner, appears to potray one of these non-Chinese officials.

Sorry, the lights of the room were glaring off the plexiglass! It’s not flash, I promise. (Flash is a no-no).
