Features: Xun Shouping (Zi Nantian), one of the "Six Masters of Early Qing," achieved remarkable success in both landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting. Especially his boneless flower-and-bird paintings, building upon the techniques of Xu Chongsi of the Northern Song Dynasty, further developed a new style characterized by meticulous elegance and refined charm. His poetry gained widespread fame, attracting numerous followers, and he was known as the "Changzhou School." This book selects seventy-one of Xun Shouping's finest works, showcasing his landscapes and vibrant flower-and-bird paintings. Additionally, it includes works by prominent figures of the Changzhou School, such as Tang Fang (the school's leading master), Yu Zhidong (expert in portraiture), and Gao Qipei (renowned for finger painting), totaling one hundred and ten pieces.
