Hongwu Chinese

Not on view

This album comprises twelve paintings by the imperial clansman and first cousin of the Qianlong emperor Hongwu. The album alternates between antiquarian landscapes, in which the artist emulates the style of a range of old masters, and botanical subjects, which range from bamboo to chrysanthemum to evergreen. Each painting is accompanied by a poem.
