ATTRIBUTED TO YANG BANGJI. A Diplomatic Mission to the Jin

A Diplomatic Mission to the Jin. Artist: Attributed to Yang Bangji (Chinese, ca. 1110-1181). Culture: China. Dimensions: Image: 10 1/2 in. × 56 in. (26.7 × 142.2 cm) Overall with mounting: 11 5/8 in. × 26 ft. 11 3/4 in. (29.5 × 822.3 cm). Date: ca. late 1150s. After the Jurched Jin conquered northern China in 1127, the Chinese court fled from Kaifeng to the southern city of Hangzhou. To maintain peace on the northern border of their shrunken empire, the Chinese paid annual tributes amounting to 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 bolts of silk. Although there is no inscription to confirm it, the theme of this scroll may be the Song envoys meeting those of the Jin. Painters under the Jin continued the styles of the Northern Song, albeit with modifications. In contrast to the dramatic scale of the massive peaks in Northern Song painting, the forms here stress surface abstraction; the mountains are softened with green wash and the valleys are laced with mist.
