The Making of Masterpieces: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy from the Palace Museum (Chinese)

Chinese Painting and Calligraphy
2022

Featuring thirty iconic works dating from the Jin (265–420) to Yuan (1271–1368) dynasties, The Making of Masterpieces: Chinese Painting and Calligraphy from the Palace Museum is the first major English-language publication to explore these crown jewels of the Palace Museum’s collection of paintings and calligraphy.

Eight essays and thirty extended entries by leading scholars reveal the life histories of these remarkable artworks, exploring how they came to be “masterpieces” on their centuries-long journeys through different collections. Full transcriptions of the seals, inscriptions, and colophons on each work provide a valuable reference point for readers interested in Chinese art history, material culture, and the social life of art.
