Zhang Zeduan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zhang Zeduan (Traditional Chinese: 張擇端; Simplified Chinese: 张择端; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhāng Zéduān; Wade-Giles: Chang Tse-tuan) (1085-1145), alias Zheng Dao, was a famous Chinese painter during the twelfth century, during the transitional period from the Northern Song to the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a native of Dongwu (present Zhu Cheng, Shandong). There is evidence that he was a court painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, and that in the aftermath of that dynasty's fall, his paintings were criticisms of the new dynasty. Most of what is known about Zhang Zeduan's life comes from a colophon written in 1186 by a man named Zhang Zhu.

Zhang Zeduan's most famous painting is Along the River During Ching Ming Festival, a wide handscroll which depicts life in a city.
