Features: Chinese landscape painting originated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and flourished during the Wei and Jin periods when scholar-officials retreated to the forests, indulging in nature, leading to rapid development in landscape painting and the emergence of masters like Gu Kaizhi. After long-term division during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the prosperous era became a stage for the maturation of landscape painting, with masters like Wu Daozi, Wang Wei, and Li Sifu taking the stage. The Five Dynasties and early Song period was a peak of landscape painting, with a succession of renowned artists. The Southern Song Dynasty was marked by the fame of Li, Liu, Ma, and Xia. During the Yuan Dynasty, when the Mongols were in power, scholar-official landscape painting reached another peak, emphasizing elegance and refinement, with the Four Great Masters of the Yuan Dynasty each representing different techniques and philosophies. The Ming and Qing dynasties saw the rise of various schools, and landscape painting gradually became more restrained. This book selects famous works from various dynasties, featuring exquisite pieces with concise annotations, making it an excellent artistic reference.
