Abstract

Ching-Ling Wang SiLVer PheaSantS under SPrinG BLoSSomS . A NEW BEgINNINg AFTER A CENTURY To celebrate its centenary, the Asian Art Society in the Netherlands (VVAK) made an important acquisition together with the Rijksmuseum. The acquired object is a rare flower-and-bird painting by Ye Shuangshi (fl. circa late 15th to early 16th century). Ye Shuangshi originated from Siming (or Ningpo) in China’s zhejiang province. From the 11th century onward the region was well known for specialising in both the flower-and-bird and the Buddhist painting traditions. Ye Shuangshi was a nephew of Lü Ji (ca. 1439-before 1505), the leading master of flower-and-bird subjects at the imperial painting academy (huayuan) during the Chenghua (1465-1487) and Hongzhi (1488- 1505) reigns. He was the best-known Ming painter of these subjects and his work was regarded in his own lifetime as representing the very highest standard achieved by the Ming painting academy. Lü Ji’s paintings testify to a strong preference for the well-established conventions of meticulous line work and the use of colour washes. However, very little is known about Ye Shuangshi’s life.
