Spring Tree Grove Before Rain, from an album of 12 leaves, 1723 (ink & colour on paper)
6124971 Spring Tree Grove Before Rain, from an album of 12 leaves, 1723 (ink & colour on paper) by Jin Yongxi (fl.1695-1723); 55.3x33 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Jin Yongxi, a literati painter from Suzhou, was a pupil of the orthodox master Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715). Each leaf of this exceptionally large album is inspired by a past master of the Song (960-1279) or Yuan (1280-1368) literati tradition. Jin has inscribed the name of the artist that inspired each of his compositions. Although Jins paintings vary considerably from their sources, they do capture the essential style associated with the famous painters he emulates. While working in Beijing, Jin apparently had access to the imperial collection which accounts for his broad and accurate knowledge of historical styles of painting. The Qinglai pavilion in which the artist painted this album likely belonged go the literatus, Gao Shiqi (1645-1703), a high official and secretary to the emperor. A major collector, Gao may in fact have commissioned the album.); Photo: © Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; Gift of Ruth and Bruce Dayton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Spring Tree Grove Before Rain" is part of a remarkable album consisting of 12 leaves, created in 1723 by the talented artist Jin Yongxi. Measuring at an impressive size of 55.3x33 cm, this ink and color on paper artwork can be found at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Jin Yongxi was a literati painter hailing from Suzhou and was fortunate to have been mentored by Wang Yuanqi, a renowned master in his field. Each leaf within this expansive album draws inspiration from past masters belonging to the Song and Yuan literati tradition. Jin pays homage to these artists by inscribing their names alongside his compositions. Despite incorporating his own unique style into each painting, Jin successfully captures the essence and distinctive characteristics associated with the famous painters he emulates. It is believed that during his time working in Beijing, Jin had access to the imperial collection which greatly contributed to his extensive knowledge of historical painting styles. The Qinglai pavilion where this album was painted likely belonged to Gao Shiqi, a prominent literatus who served as a high official and secretary to the emperor. Gao's passion for collecting art suggests that he may have commissioned this extraordinary album himself. This particular photograph was taken by Bridgeman Images and is part of Fine Art Finder's collection. The image showcases intricate details while highlighting the beauty and elegance captured within Jin Yongxi's masterpiece.
