Hong Kong Palace Museum | “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Stories Untold—Figure Paintings of the Ming Dynasty from the Palace Museum” Thematic Exhibition Talk | Stories and Antiques behind the Paintings: Tang Yin and His Circle

The mid-Ming painter Tang Yin (1470–1524), also known by his courtesy name Bohu and his sobriquet Liuru Jushi, was a man for all seasons. He excelled in poetry, prose, calligraphy, and painting and was celebrated as one of the Four Talents of Jiangnan and one of the Four Masters of the Wu school. His life experiences and artistic achievements have made him a legendary figure. This exquisite exhibition features several paintings by Tang and his contemporaries. Its curator Dr Fangting Jiang will explore Tang’s art and life drawing insights from the paintings, while the other curator Dr Meng Qiao will focus on a painting by You Qiu (active in the 16th century), who inherited Tang Yin’s figure painting style. Dr Qiao will further analyse the ancient bronzes and porcelains depicted in the paintings, elaborating on the late-Ming fascination with antiques.

This talk accompanies the thematic exhibition “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Stories Untold — Figure Paintings of the Ming Dynasty from the Palace Museum” on view in Gallery 4 at the Hong Kong Palace Museum from 13 December 2023 to 30 November 2024.
