The Qingming [Ch'ing-ming] Festival
典藏者
The Walters Art Museum
This is a copy of--or a variation upon--one of the most famous of all Chinese handscrolls, a depiction of life along the Yellow River in the Song-dynasty capital of Kaifeng, painted in 1120. During the time of the Qingming festival, which occurs in late March or early April, people visit their family graves. The painter Qiu Ying (1494-1552) made a copy of the original scroll, and a number of later versions bear his name. Spurious signature of Qiu Ying.
