Ju Chao and Ju Lian, renowned flower-and-bird masters of the Lingnan
area (South of the Five Ridges) in the 19th century, based on their
experiences on the bank of the Pearl River and their love for nature,
produced large numbers of excellent works suiting both refined and
popular tastes. The Lingnan School of painting, established by Ju Lian's
disciples Gao Jianfu and Chen Shuren, is still influential today. This
book contains 117 best paintings of Ju Chao and Ju Lian collected by
Dongguan Museum of Guangdong Province, reflecting their unique style and
characteristics. There are also reviews, seals used by the two artists,
a table of their artistic activities and bibliographies.
