This landmark exhibition catalogue presents a sweeping survey of Chinese painting across two of the most artistically prolific imperial eras — the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties. Spanning six centuries of creative output, the volume documents a rich selection of works ranging from meticulous court paintings to the expressive brushwork of literati masters, illustrating the remarkable diversity of Chinese artistic traditions. Each entry chronicles the stylistic evolution of ink and colour on silk and paper, situating individual works within their cultural, philosophical, and historical contexts. Drawing on the collections presented during a landmark touring exhibition, the catalogue serves as both a scholarly reference and a visual celebration of one of the world's most enduring painting traditions.
