WiSe 19/20: Chinese Painting of the Ming Dynasty
Brigitta Augustin
Comments
The Ming dynasty was not only a time during which Chinese painting developed from the achievements and traditions of earlier dynasties such as the Southern Song (1127-1279) painting academy and the Yuan (1271-1368) scholar artists. It was also an era of creative innovation and new painting schools, which now were named after the geographic area of origin.
Important features of the development of painting during the subsequent three centuries of Ming rule include in the beginning a strong influence of the imperial court, followed by a re-emergence of a highly personalized art of scholar painters, as well as external inspirations which bear witness to a transregional art world.
This seminar is intended to provide an overview of Chinese painting during the Ming period. Thereby it does not only consider different painting schools, painting genres and materials, but shall also give students the opportunity to work out regional and time-specific differences.
