About the Exhibition
The Selected Paintings of Ming and Qing Dynasties – Joint exhibition of collected works of Palace Museum and National Art Museum of China, which is jointly planned and sponsored by National Art Museum of China and Palace Museum, will be held from July 16 to August at the third and fifth floor exhibition rooms in National Art Museum of China.

The exhibition will show 112 selected paintings of Ming and Qing dynasties, with 60 from Palace Museum and 52 from National Art Museum of China. Many of the works will be displayed to the public for the first time. The exhibition will unfold a panoramic view of the four Wu families in the Ming Dynasty and their descendent scholars, such as Tawny Daylilies and Autumn Sunflowers of Shen Zhou and Four Beauties of Tang Yin. They will show the transfiguration style emerging in late Ming Dynasty, such as Amid Clouds of Cui Zizhong, Listen to Musical Instrument of Chen Hongshou, and Wash Elephant of Ding Yunpeng. We will observe the new styles of scholars represented by Dong Qichang, and the transformation of the painting styles of the four Wangs and four monks of the early Qing Dynasty, such as Imitate Landscapes of Wang Gongwang of Wang Yuanqi and Landscape by Brooks of Gong Xian. The works showed the queer Yangzhou painters of the mid and late Qing Dynasty, such as Self-Portrait of Jin Nong and Plum and Bamboo of Zheng Xie. They also revealed the masterpieces of modern painters in transformation, including Four Season Flowers of Xu Gu, Suwu Tending Sheep of Ren Bonian, and Vase Flower & Finger Citron of Wu Changshuo.

The joint exhibition proves supplementary cooperation between Palace Museum and National Art Museum of China. The activity rallies academic forces of the two museums to integrate paintings of Ming and Qing dynasties with modern works, and demonstrates the full development courses and transformation sequences of Chinese paintings from Ming and Qing dynasties.
