Hong Kong Palace Museum

Portrait is a branch of traditional Chinese figure painting that emphasises “conveying spirit”, “depicting likeness” and “portraying reality”. The portrait of the Ming dynasty represents the pinnacle of portraiture in Chinese art history. This talk will explore how these portraits, in addition to their artistic value, provide insights into the historical landscape and cultural activities of their time. These vivid and expressive works not only complement written records, but also hold significant value in the fields of sociology and history.

This talk accompanies the thematic exhibition “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: Stories Untold—Figure Paintings of the Ming Dynasty from the Palace Museum”. The exhibition is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Palace Museum. It is solely sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.
