Landscapes
Shangrui Chinese
Not on view
Shangrui was a Buddhist monk painter who specialized in the types of historically informed landscape paintings seen in this album. Though biographical sources for the artist are scarce, those that survive state that he studied with Wang Hui, the leading landscape painter of the late seventeenth century, during his time in Beijing. According to the date of 1672, this album should date to before Shangrui’s encounter with Wang Hui, but already one can see a shared interest in old master styles, especially the blue-green landscape manner associated with painters such as Zhao Mengfu and Zhao Boju.
