Fewer with the additional Introduction. The Sung Dynasty artists continued the traditions passed down from the Five Dynasties Period, and in both the landscape art of the north - rugged, steep and precipitous - and in the south - alluring, misty and elegant - scenes were created in which one could travel, gaze, wander and dwell. In paintings of the Sung Dynasty, one could find animals, birds, flowers and humans that were not only accurately depicted in shape and manner, their internal substance, emotions, ideas, and aspiration were captured by the artists. The Sung Dynasty can be seen as the highlight in the development of traditional Chinese painting. The main themes of Sung painting were landscape (mountains and rivers), birds and flowers and the living nature such as bamboos, birds, insects, horses and other plants and animals, and figure painting. The Sung Dynasty can be regarded the golden era of Chinese painting and pottery. Many emperors at the beginning of the Sung Dynasty respected painters and calligraphers and invited them to become members of the Hanlin Calligraphy and Painting Academy. The Hanlin Painting Academy, also called the Imperial Painting Academy, was sponsored by the emperors themselves. Limited Edition, one of 1880 copies. First edition/first printing.
