    The Long Museum in Shanghai is presenting some of its finest traditional Chinese artworks at the ongoing exhibition titled The Era of Brilliant Stars — Masters from Early Qing Dynasty Painting and Calligraphy.

    The latest in a series of exhibitions celebrating the Long Museum's 10th anniversary, the showcase opened on Sunday and features the works of 10 Chinese artists who were active in the 17th century.

    It features a total of 33 sets of artworks, half of which are on public display for the first time.

    In this exhibition, the works of artists with the same surname — Wang Shimin (1592-1680), Wang Jian (1598-1677), Wang Hui (1632-1717), and Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715) — are showcased together in the section Four Wangs.

    Together with Wu Li (1632-1718) and Yun Shouping (1633-90), the six artists are collectively known as the "Six masters of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)" or the "orthodox" landscape painters, says Xie Xiaodong, curator of the exhibition.

    Among the six masters, Wu had quite a unique life experience as a Catholic priest. His paintings combined elements and techniques from Chinese classical masters, as well as Western aesthetics, making him an interesting figure for the research about exchanges and integration between Chinese and Western art.

    The four monks: Hongren (1610-63), Kuncan (1612-92), Bada Shanren (1626-1705) and Shitao (1630-1724) are sometimes referred to "four monks of the early Qing Dynasty", as they represented more individualized styles and drew inspiration from nature and the spiritual world. Although these four didn't enjoy as much prominence as the six masters, their influence lingered on through the centuries and they influenced many modern Chinese painters, such as Ren Bonian and Qi Baishi, says Xie.

    Together, these artists brought traditional Chinese art to new heights and created an era of unprecedented prosperity, says Liu Yiqian, the founder of the private museum in Shanghai.

    An expert of these 17th-century masters, Liu wrote the foreword for the exhibition. "It's been almost 30 years since I started to collect ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy," he writes. "I have a particular fondness for works by the four Wangs, Wu Li, Yun Shouping and the four monks. As a matter of fact, it's not exaggerated to call such fondness fanatic."
