Artist
Xuande Emperor



Xuande Emperor is a Ming dynasty painting artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Palace Museum.
This emperor left behind ink-brush paintings of animals and symbols, made in the early 1400s inside the Forbidden City. He painted Three Goats, Symbol of Prosperity in 1429 and Gibbons at Play in 1427, works that sit squarely in the Ming court tradition. The brushwork is fine, the compositions spare, yet each sheet feels like a gift meant for a single glance. Tap Gibbons at Play to step closer and see how the ink dances on silk.
