清 吳龍 仿古山水圖 冊|Paintings after old masters

Wu Long

1728 · Album of fourteen leaves; ink and color on paper · Asian Art

Though he is relatively little known today, the Anhui painter Wu Long was famous enough during his own lifetime that the poet and local celebrity Wang Hongdu compared him to the celebrated Ming-dynasty artist Shen Zhou (1427–1509). This album reveals Wu to be a gifted stylist capable of working in a wide range of different manners, from the spare, linear mode favored by other Anhui masters to densely colored compositions of blue and green.
