Features: Anonymous paintings and signed works are no different in terms of artistic quality. However, during their transmission through history, they have faced different fates. Generations of collectors and art historians have primarily focused on famous works, especially those by renowned masters, while often disregarding anonymous paintings. As a result, under such circumstances, a large number of ancient anonymous paintings disappeared during their circulation. This situation persisted until the Ming Dynasty, when it gradually began to attract the attention of collectors. The great collector Xiang Zijing made significant contributions to the cataloging and study of anonymous paintings.
