This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
Our inspiration: Winter landscapes and flowers
Qian Weicheng (Chinese, 1720–1772)
Album of 12 paintings; ink and color on paper; 8 5/8 x 11 7/8 in. each;
Qing dynasty (1644–1911)
Purchase, The Dillon Fund Gift, 1988 1988.153.1a–l
The album to which these images belong originally formed part
of a four-volume set depicting scenery and flowers of the four seasons. Qian was one of the foremost Orthodox School landscapists and flower painters of the 18th century, and the Qianlong emperor considered him to be one of the outstanding painters of the age. In over 20 years of service at court, Qian produced more than 275 paintings for the emperor. Even after the artist’s death in 1772, the emperor continued, as on this album, to add appreciative inscriptions.
