Pear Blossom from a Flower Album of Ten Leaves, 1656, Xiang Shengmo, Chinese, 1597-1658, 12 1/8 x 9 1/16 in. (30.8 x 23 cm), Ink and color on paper, China, 17th century, Xiang Shengmo was born into one of the most prestigious families in Jiaxing, a city in northeastern China. When the Manchu invasion reached Jiaxing, in 1645, many of Xiangs friends and relatives died in a vain attempt to save their city. His homestead was destroyed and his familys art collections lost. Following this upheaval, Xiangs painting changed from an amateur, literati pursuit, becoming a source of income. Xiang was at the height of his technical and expressive powers when he created this album, featuring a wide range of flowers including wintersweet, cockscomb, apricot, pear, daylily, and cassia. He worked here in pure color without ink outlines and in shaded brushstrokes, which give the impression of three-dimensional modeling.
