Dynasty – (1368 – 1644 A.D)
Ming Dynasty was a period of cultural restoration and expansion. Painters
recruited by the Ming were instructed to return to didactic and realistic
representation, in emulation of the styles of the earlier Southern Sung
Imperial Painting Academy. Large-scale landscapes, flower-and bird
compositions, and narratives were particularly favored as images that
would glorify the new dynasty and convey its benevolence virtue, and
majesty. Famous painter : Tang Yin, Chiu Ying etc.
In the late 15th and early 16th century of the Ming era, Paintings took on
new form and meaning. Majority of the paintings symbolized moral values of
society; paintings by Wen Zheng Ming surpassed mere symbols but delved
into the temperament the artist’s consciousness and mood. Another notable
artist was Chou Chen.
