黄起鳳 仿龔賢山水畫册 水墨紙本 册頁八開 As an individual painter who lived as a recluse and considered himself an yimin (leftover subject) from the previous dynasty, Gong Xian (1619-1689) had few immediate followers who imitated his distinctive style. Yet as a one of the most popular painters in Nanjing of his day, his paintings continued to be well-received in the centuries that followed.In this album by Huang Qifeng (Huang Xiaoting, 黄曉汀), the artist faithfully captures the vigorously painted dots and luxurious ink effects of the earlier master.
