Zhang Keguan
Zhang Keguan is a Ming dynasty painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This artist painted delicate ink-and-color album leaves in the 17th-century tradition. One leaf shows Moonlit Terrace, where moonlight spills across a pine-covered terrace on silk. The spare composition and soft washes belong to the later Ming/early Qing album style.
See how the brush leaves breathing room, just enough ink to suggest mist, just enough color to hint at moss. Tap Moonlit Terrace to step into the quiet solitude of that painted night.
