Features: Among the calligraphy and paintings in the collection of the Nanjing Museum of Art, Ming and Qing dynasty landscape paintings are extremely rich. It can be said that works from various schools, famous masters, as well as those by less-known painters who hold a certain reference value as representatives of their schools, are all well represented. This volume, A Collection of Qing Dynasty Landscape Paintings, is a companion piece to A Collection of Ming Dynasty Landscape Paintings, and is even larger in scale, with more impressive works. Among them, the works of the "Four Wangs" series hold particularly typical value. For example, Wang Jian's Ten Panels of Imitating Ancient Landscape, which are grand in scale, meticulous in brushwork, and exceptionally elegant. Wang Hui's River Scene with Evening Snow Scroll, Imitating Early Spring after Hui's Style Scroll, Wu Cheng's Ten Panels of Imitating Ancient Landscape, and Wang Yuanqi's Nine Days of Joy Scroll are all works that are captivating to look at time and time again. The works of the "Four Monks" series are even more filled with extraordinary masterpieces.
