Note:
The youngest of the artists collectively known as the Four Wangs of the early Qing, Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715) was tutored by his grandfather, the prominent artist Wang Shimin (1592-1680). Like his grandfather, he advocated the emulation of the work of the Song and Yuan masters, which formed the foundation of the orthodox style of painting. A prominent court official, he served as the keeper of the imperial collection and often accompanied Kangxi in viewings. It is recorded that the Emperor also enjoyed observing him during the act of painting.
Painted from spring to winter over the course of 1708, Landscape after Song and Yuan Masters dates to the height of artist’s late period as Wang Yuanqi notes in his colophon, in the quiet moments during his service at the Changchun Garden. Each leaf interprets the style of an earlier artist, including Wu Zhen, Lu Hong, Dong Yuan, Wang Meng, Huang Gongwang, Ni Zan, Mi Youren, Cao Zhibai, Li Cheng, Ju Ran and Guo Xi. Reducing the artists’ schema to abstract geometric forms, his brushwork is assured and confident, undoubtedly benefitting from the rare experience of viewing calligraphy and paintings in imperial collection for many years.
1708 was also the year Paintings and Calligraphy in Peiwen Studio, the compilation of the imperial collection which Wang Yuanqi presided over and supervised, was completed. In the colophon of Landscape after Song and Yuan Masters, he proposes that learning from the style of the masters should not be limited to mere imitation. Drawing inspiration from the masters of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the present album is a testament to the artist’s wish to ‘express my own perspective’. Also of note is that each leaf bears a different artist’s seal, with no repetition, suggesting that Wang Yuanqi took particular care in completing the album. The album was collected by collectors including Wu Weiguang (1743-1803) and Miao Qi (1821-1885).
