Sticky Notes Rolls-Flower Spirits of the Twelve Months

About the Collection "Flower Spirits of the Twelve Months,Shen Chen-lin, Qing dynasty" Album Leaf, ink on paper, 27.2 x 33.4 cm Shen Chen-lin (tzu Feng-ch’ih) was from Suchou, Kiangsu. The details of his life are not known, but it is certain he was active around 1851. A court painter, Shen Chen-lin was skilled in painting figures and also very realistic birds, flowers, and landscapes. It was through his painting that he achieved a wide reputation. The empress Tzu-hsi t’ai-hou inscribed a tablet for him with the words “ a miraculous hand transmitting the spirit.” One outstanding characteristic of his painting is the richness of color; another is the effort to imitate nature, resulting in a feeling of reality. As a result, although in terms of form he exhibits marvelous skill, the ink has lost life-like refinement, a quality relished by the viewer.
