How one independent artist reshaped the future of Chinese painting
In short: Discover the life of Luo Ping, a versatile master who challenged tradition. This video explores how his original portraits, landscapes, and flower paintings influenced the course of Chinese art through the lens of a major exhibition at The Met.
Luo Ping (1733–1799) was a central figure in eighteenth-century China, recognized as the youngest member of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. His work is noted for its fierce independence and versatility across multiple genres.
A significant exhibition organized by the Museum Rietberg in Zurich showcases 37 paintings by Luo Ping, his family, and his mentor, Jin Nong. This collection includes several National Treasures that have never previously been displayed in the West.
