Landscape in the Style of Old Masters
Qi Gong Chinese
Not on view
Qi Gong was a member of the Qing royal family who became an important scholar of philology and textual criticism in the New China. His painting style is influenced by Qing orthodox masters. His inscription characteristically records a bit of connoisseurship: he says this painting in the style of Yüan masters was copied from an album by Wang Yuanqi (1642–1715) in a private collection. The album, according to Qi, was the equal of Qing Imperial examples.
