A Selection of Traditional Chinese Paintings (English Edition): 100+ Masterpieces from Jin to Qing

From “Ode to Goddess of the Luo River” and “Spring Excursion” to Song Landscape, Yuan Literati Art and Ming-Qing Court Painting — 100+ Works with Their Background, Style and Influence
This is a picture-led survey of Chinese painting from the Jin to the Qing dynasty—not an academic textbook, and not a price guide. It moves through five periods and introduces more than 100 representative works, from Gu Kaizhi‘s “Ode to Goddess of the Luo River” and Zhan Ziqian’s “Spring Excursion” to the court paintings of the Five Dynasties and Song, the literati art of the Yuan, and the diverse styles of the Ming and Qing. Each painting comes with its background, stylistic features, and influence on later generations, written in clear, accessible language. If you want to see how Chinese painting developed across a thousand years through its most important works—rather than read a dense art history or hunt for auction prices—this is it.
