Everything about Qian Xuan totally explained
Qián Xuǎn (
1235-
1305) was a Song loyalist painter from
Zhejiang. He started as an aspiring scholar-official during the
Southern Song. He had difficulty climbing the ranks of officialdom and when the
Mongol Yuan took over China in
1276 he effectively gave up on the idea. Although in
1286 his friend
Zhao Mengfu accepted a position and so for a time it seemed he could as well, but he refused on patriotic grounds. Although to avoid difficulties he cited old age.
His life after 1276 was devoted to painting and he became noted as a "fur and feathers" painter. He is also known for landscapes displaying that hinted at a longing for a return of native Chinese rule, like in the work
Home Again. He mixed Song realism with an archaic Tang style.
