Ch'iu Ying: Pavilions in the Deep Mountains
Ming Dynasty / hanging scroll / ink and color on paper
 |
Ch'iu Ying (1494 ?-1552 ?), Shih-fu by style name and Shih-chou by sobriquet, was a native
of T'ai-ts'ang, Kiangsu province. His talent to paint was recognized at an early age by
Chou Ch'en. He mastered the exquisite flavor of old Sung and Yuan dynasty paintings and
became a celebrated Ming dynasty painter of court ladies. He also created his own style in
landscape painting by reverting to Sung and Yuan works as well as studying from Chou Ch'en
and T'ang Yin, and mastered the secrets of miniature painting that depicted "inch-high people
and pea-sized horses." This piece, produced when Ch'iu Ying was fifty-seven, is a gem among
his works.
