Landscapes, Flowers and Birds
Xiang Shengmo Chinese
Not on view
Xiang Shengmo enjoyed two significant advantages in his early years as a painter. First, his grandfather Xiang Yuanbian possessed the greatest collection of old masterworks in the realm. Second, Dong Qichang, whose theories were so influential in seventeenth-century art circles, served for a period of time as a tutor in his home, and Xiang maintained a friendship with the elder painter. With this unusual background, Xiang achieved an exceptional range, as is evident from this diverse album of landscape and flower subjects.
