Recently, I was fascinated by a painting depicting qing dynasty beauties! People can't help but have endless reverie about that era and such women... Without further ado, above!
Qing LengMei "Spring Girl Tired Reading Map"
Maybe some people have seen the painting, but few people know the painter behind it. The ancient beauty in the picture, who is also the heroine of this painting, has one leg lightly draped on the embroidery pier, the left hand is leaning on the table with her cheek, the little finger is still naughtily placed at the corner of the mouth, and the right hand is holding the scroll. Xu is tired of reading, Xu is too boring and boring, and Xu is the content in the book is intriguing, and I can't help but meditate. Beautiful face, light expression, gorgeous jewelry, exquisite clothes, wearing a wide shirt that does not show the figure, but it is difficult to hide the graceful figure. On the square table with the inlaid stone face next to him is the "Poetry of the Famous Lady", the root carved flower rack where the vase flowers are placed next to him, the paintings and holes hanging on the wall behind him, the painting-in-picture, and the precious puppy looking back at the skirt... All of them tell the noble status and elegant taste of the women in the painting.
The origin of this painter is not yet known, but the overall composition, the depiction of the costumes and expressions of the characters, the background of the setting, light and elegant. The beauty in the painting has read a thousand words in her heart, and her face is still idle and indifferent. Reading a book is like traveling, even if you are in a deep boudoir, you can see the beautiful scenery. The more you look at the whole painting, the more you love it!
Qing Leng Mei "Snow Yan Tu"
Look at another "Snow YanTu" painted by this painter named Leng Ming, before I saw the painting, I was first amazed by the title of the painting. First look at the distant view, the distant mountains, palace walls, pavilions, plum blossoms that run out of the side, and the sky and earth are a vast expanse. Then in the close-up, the protagonist character appears, the snow beauty is dressed in blue, and the maid who holds an umbrella for her is dressed in red, which lights up the whole picture. At the same time, they looked at another maid walking on the stone bridge, and the picture immediately came to life. One master and two servants, although the painter reflects the actual identity status into the picture, the proportion size makes people look a little uncomfortable, but it cannot stop the beauty of the whole painting.
Qing LengMei "Moon Long Qing Tour Map" "December Treading Snow in Search of Poetry"
After painting the rich and cold women, Leng Mei began to pick up the pen again and painted the four seasons of the year of the concubines of the Qing Palace. In December, the first snow fell everywhere, and it was time to enjoy this "December Snow Search poem", which is more appropriate. Even if it is cold and the snow is fluttering, it cannot stop the concubines in the palace from stepping on the snow and seeking poetry. I don't know if the emperor is busy dealing with major national affairs, and the harem beauties are naturally not willing to be lonely and want to live their own wonderful.
Part of Qing Leng's "December Snow Search poem"
Look at this little lord wearing a mink cloak, holding a pair of Gilded hand stoves, hidden in his sleeves, sideways looking at the palace maid holding the food box, eyebrows open and smiling, presumably it contains a very delicious snack dessert. When the emperor is not around, you must also be happy. Once you enter the palace, the door is as deep as the sea, and you rely on self-amusement. The life of the ancients is also too elegant, which also tells us that modern people, no matter how much money they have, eat and wear warm, the most important thing is to be happy.
Cold Lady Figure
Leng Mei will not only picture the thin palace beauty, but also paint a plump peach blossom lady, this is a picture of spring, the left arm carries a flower basket, the flower basket has just folded down the blooming peony flowers, the left hand holds a red round bead, is put into the left hand, the skirt is flying, this lady seems to be the embodiment of the spring girl, the earrings are glowing with white light, and it is also a hit today.
The above three paintings are all from Leng Ming's pen, and I have to marvel, the Qing Dynasty beauties under Leng Ming's pen, their charm has been painted, beautiful to the bone! The women's friends of that era, the men who knew best how to appreciate the beauty of the women of the Qing Dynasty, were probably the only ones.
Leng Mei "Rensheng Takako Diagram"
Who is Leng Mei? He was a famous court painter of the Qing Dynasty, zi Jichen. A native of Jiaozhou, Shandong, he is a descendant of the famous painter Leng Chaoyan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty, he was recommended by his fellow villager Jiao Bingzhen to enter the palace to specialize in painting, and after entering Beijing, he called the history of Kinmen painting. Throughout his life, he went through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and at the most beautiful time, he was one of the painters accompanying the Kangxi Emperor on his southern tour and the foreman of the painting academy. Of course, he did not always paint leisurely in the palace. During the 13 years of Yongzheng's reign, he was expelled from the palace, and his name no longer appears in this section of the Qing Palace archives. The cold pieces with superb painting skills are still appreciated by the people. Subsequently, he was put into the palace of Prince Bao to paint, and after the Qianlong Emperor came to power, he was once again put into the palace, giving him a great deal of creative freedom and maximizing the release of his artistic talents. Not only that, the Qianlong Emperor also took very good care of Leng Ming's life and gave money for support, which was recorded.
"Magu Xianshou" is a material often painted by painters of past generations, but Leng Mei's Magu is holding a fairy grass, a fairy deer accompanied, a peaceful face, and the whole picture is an auspicious atmosphere. Appeared at an auction a few years ago and was worth up to one million yuan. People who saw this painting were all amazed. By the way, the jianzang seal in the middle of the upper part of this painting was covered by Wang Yunli of Guojun.
Leng Mei "Magu Dedication"
Leng Mei is an all-round painter. Not only is he good at figure painting and female figures, but his landscape paintings are also very famous, and there are many works such as "Summer Resort Map" and "Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace". As a court painter, although Leng Ming's painting style did not lose its neatness and meticulousness, his combination of Chinese and Western painting methods also made the picture more vivid. The picture of "Spring Girl Tired Reading" at the beginning of the article can be called a classic in leng Ming's handed down works. The Republic of China's "Supplementary Jiaozhi" commented on the cold piece: "Gong Danqing, wonderful color, painting characters are especially a crown for a while." Such a talented painter also has a sad point. When he was old, he painted many painstaking works in the Yuanmingyuan, most of which were either plundered by the British and French allies of that year, or buried in the sea of fire and lost in the dust of history. We can only look at the imprint of that era through his few works and feel his paintings of China and the United States.
