Chai Zhenyi

Chai Zhenyi is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Art Institute of Chicago.

A painter during China’s Qing dynasty under Emperor Kangxi, Chai Zhenyi worked in ink and color on paper to capture delicate life in motion. See how he painted “Flowers and Insects” around 1692, a handscroll that pauses on petals and wings without a single wasted stroke. Want to zoom into petals next? Tap the same scroll title to explore each tiny bloom and the insects that land on them.
