Paintings from Imperial Palace Museum, Shenyang, China

I mentioned before that art museums in China do not sell catalogs or postcards. One of the exception was the Imperial Palace Museum in Shenyang, which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This palace served as seat of the Manchu Dynasty before they moved to Beijing. It is older and smaller than that of Forbidden City, but it has more nomadic character and still boast some stellar collections of artwork and artifacts.

I have a set of postcards, featuring the selections of paintings of the museum:


Bamboo and Parrot - LÜ Ji (Ming Dynasty)


Boating in Autumn - SHEN Zhou (Ming Dynasty)


Pine and Rock - XIANG Shengmo (Ming Dynasty)


Bodhidharma - DING Yunpeng (Ming Dynasty)
