Mountain Color on Mount Liangchang, from an album of 12 leaves, 1723 (ink & colour on paper)
6124982 Mountain Color on Mount Liangchang, from an album of 12 leaves, 1723 (ink & colour on paper) by Jin Yongxi (fl.1695-1723); 54x31.2 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Jin Yongxi, a literati painter from Suzhou, was a pupil of the orthodox master Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715). Each leaf of this exceptionally large album is inspired by a past master of the Song (960-1279) or Yuan (1280-1368) literati tradition. Jin has inscribed the name of the artist that inspired each of his compositions. Although Jins paintings vary considerably from their sources, they do capture the essential style associated with the famous painters he emulates. While working in Beijing, Jin apparently had access to the imperial collection which accounts for his broad and accurate knowledge of historical styles of painting. The Qinglai pavilion in which the artist painted this album likely belonged go the literatus, Gao Shiqi (1645-1703), a high official and secretary to the emperor. A major collector, Gao may in fact have commissioned the album.); Photo: © Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; Gift of Ruth and Bruce Dayton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Mountain Color on Mount Liangchang" by Jin Yongxi, a renowned literati painter from Suzhou. Created in 1723, this masterpiece is part of a larger album consisting of twelve leaves and measures 54x31.2 cm. Housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, it exudes elegance and sophistication. Jin Yongxi was greatly influenced by his mentor Wang Yuanqi and drew inspiration from past masters of the Song and Yuan literati tradition. Each leaf in this album pays homage to these revered artists, with Jin inscribing their names alongside his compositions. While his paintings differ from their sources, they successfully capture the essence and style associated with these famous painters. It is believed that Jin had access to the imperial collection while working in Beijing, which explains his extensive knowledge of historical painting styles. The Qinglai pavilion where he painted this album likely belonged to Gao Shiqi, a prominent literatus who served as a high official and secretary to the emperor. Gao's passion for collecting art suggests that he may have commissioned this remarkable album. The photograph itself beautifully captures every intricate detail of Jin's work thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in fine art photography. This stunning print serves as a testament to both Jin Yongxi's artistic brilliance and the enduring beauty found within traditional Chinese painting techniques.
