[Gong Shou Qing Yi | Replica of a Shanghai Style Pioneer] These four screens capture the exquisite charm of Hu Gong's "brushwork of inscriptions and calligraphy," seamlessly blending the unrestrained elegance of Chen Chun and the refined elegance of Hua Yan. Specially crafted using the secret method of eleven alums and ten dyes, the ink, rich and mellow, resembles the brilliance of ancient seals, while the vigorous brushstrokes evoke the essence of "seal script and oracle script integrated into painting" in "Pine and Plum Blossoms." This imitation reaches the standard of "Yunjian Study Level," revealing the essence of the early Shanghai School of inscriptions and calligraphy, surpassing more common flower and bird paintings. Beyond mere resemblance, this truly recreates the final glory of literati painting during the Daoguang and Xianfeng periods, a rare example of the Gongshou style.
