Hong Kong Palace Museum

Religious paintings of the Ming dynasty play a significant part in the genre of the time. They can be broadly categorised into three types, featuring Buddhist, Taoist, or folk religious themes. This talk will delineate the characteristics, functions, and achievements of the religious paintings of the Ming dynasty, presented mostly in chronological order. It will illustrate how these artworks reflect the religious beliefs of both the literati and the commoners of the time.

This talk accompanies the thematic exhibition “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Stories Untold — Figure Paintings of the Ming Dynasty from the Palace Museum”. The exhibition is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Palace Museum. It is solely sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.
