Master of the Chinese Southern School: A Collector’s Selection of Wang Shimin Paintings

Hammer auction

Thursday 22 May 2025
Starting at 12 noon
Renowned as one of the most influential painters of the early Qing dynasty, Wang Shimin was a master of classical Chinese landscape painting. Born into a scholarly family in Taicang, Jiangsu province, Wang was deeply influenced by the Southern School of painting, especially the styles of Yuan dynasty artists like Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan.

A talented scholar and calligrapher as well, Wang combined poetry, painting, and philosophy in his art, creating deeply meditative landscapes that evoke timeless harmony with nature. His brushwork is elegant and controlled, often portraying misty mountains, winding rivers, and tranquil retreats—idealized visions of a scholar’s inner world.

As one of the revered ‘Four Wangs’ and a central figure in the Orthodox School, Wang Shimin helped shape the aesthetic values of Chinese literati painting for generations. Today, his works are celebrated for their balance, grace, and scholarly depth.

We are proud to offer four pieces attributed to him—each reflecting the legacy of a true master.

Private Viewing is available from the 22 April 2025, please contact us on 01449 673088 to arrange an appointment.
