Hongren (1610 - 1663) - Peintre de la fin de la dynastie Ming (1368-1644) et du début de la dynastie Qing (1644-1911). Rouleau horizontal (1663) Lavis d'encre et de couleur sur papier 19,7 x 69,7 cm 6 - Extraits des commentaires du Conservateur du musée de Shanghai à son propos : "Hongren, hao Jianjiang Xueren, a native of Shexian , Anhui province, became a monk at Mount Wuyi to avoid association with the Manchu rulers after the fall of the Ming and later, after travelling extensively across the nation, he took up residence at Mount Huang . He first followed the painting styles of the Song masters, then adopted the styles of the “Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty” and pursued a profound interest in the style of Ni Zan. His landscapes of the scenery of Mount Huang are characterised by a geometrically delineated composition as well as dry and angular brush lines. One of the “Four Monks”, he is also regarded as an important figure of the Huangshan School and the Xin'an School".

Il est à noter que plusieurs peintures de Hongren sont aussi exposées au Musée de Hong Kong, de Genève et au Metropolitan de NY.
