Calligraphy in Kai-Shu Script, late 17th century, Wang Yuan-ch'i, 1642-1715, 46 x 15 1/2 in. (116.84 x 39.37 cm) (image), Ink on paper, China, 17th century, Wang Yuanqi was born in Tai-tsang, Jiangsu, into a family of prominent scholar-officials, including his grandfather, Wang Shimin (1592-1680), the important orthodox, literati painter. Wang, in fact, studied the classics and painting under his grandfather's tutelage. He held several important court appointments and was eventually grouped with his grandfather, Wang Hui and Wang Jian, as one of the Four Major Wangs of the Qing dynasty. While best known for his orthodox landscape painting, Wang was accorded the title of 'three superlatives' (san chueh) meaning good in poetry, painting, and calligraphy. In the classical verse seen here, Wang writes in the relatively formal k'ai-shu(or chen shu) script. His characters are clearly structured and well-balanced conveying a conservative air.
