Very good. Eight Masters of Jinling refer to a group of Chinese artists who lived during the second half of the 17th century in Jinling (modern Nanjing). Their group identity derives largely from the locale in which they worked. Although some aesthetic similarities are discernible, their styles are quite different in many ways. The Eight Masters of Jinling are individualist painters in contrast to the orthodox “Four Wangs”. Very good. Item #h45221
