User:Adrianturcato/Jiangnan landscape style

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "Jiangnan Landscape style" was a regional painting style during the turbulent period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period following the fall of the Tang Dynasty. The Jiagnan Landscape style was focused around the court of the Southern Tang in Jinling. The painters developed a distinct style which became very important in the development of the landscape tradition of Chinese painting in the Song dynasty, and furthermore into the Yuan, Ming and Qing.

Important painters of this style are Dong Yuan and Juran. When the Southern Tang kingdom was conquered by the Northern Song in 975, Juran travelled to the Northern Song capital of Bianjing where he influenced important landscape painters such as Li Cheng.

The Jiangnan landscape style emphasizes the rolling country of rivers and lakes around Jinling.
