Dai Xi Chinese

Not on view

Dai Xi was an accomplished poet, calligrapher, and painter as well as serving as Vice Minister of Military Affairs. In 1832 he was made a member of the Hanlin Academy, the prestigious body of scholars patronized by the imperial court.

This elegant album was made for the poet Zhang Xianghe, who inscribed a long poem following Dai's paintings and colophon. The compositions and brushwork of Dai's paintings recall the playful and spontaneous style of the early Qing master Shitao (1642–1707).
