Discover the mastery of the Lingnan School of painting in China over the last 200 years.
Ju Lian was a native of Guangzhou, Guangdong province. He and his brother Ju Chao (1811-1889) were both masters of painting in Guangdong during the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Ju Lian was the teacher of the “Three Masters of Lingnan School”, Gao Jianfu (1879-1951), Gao Qifeng (1889-1933) and Chen Shuren (1884-1948). His realistic and brightly coloured style can often be seen in their works.
