Ma Yuan: Evening Banquet at the Palace
Sung Dynasty / hanging scroll / ink and light color on silk
 |
Ma Yuan was a member of the Southern Sung Imperial Painting Academy during the reigns of
Emperors Kuang-tsung and Ning-tsung. This painting depicts nature and human deeds in
harmonious unity as seen in the high-ranking officials attending to the banquet held in
the hall, ladies-in-waiting holding lanterns and dancing on the floor below, plum trees
in bloom in the garden and distant mountains growing dim in the twilight. It is an
excellent work representing the Southern Sung dynasty in which the realism of Chinese
ink painting indicated further development and efforts were exerted to express the lyricism
in nature.
