Lu Tanwei

China, b. 450

Lu Tanwei is a China artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Palace Museum.

Lu Tanwei painted ink-on-silk scenes in the 5th-century courtly tradition. Two works here show that style: Homecoming Ode and Lady Ban on a Stroll. His brushwork follows the Six Principles of painting that artists still studied centuries later.

Tap Lady Ban on a Stroll to see how he layered delicate robes and misty hills with a few strokes of black and mineral colors.
