Painting and Architecture
View through CrossRef
This chapter begins with a dilemma: in two versions of the same composition, the professional painter Xia Yong left both the man-on-crane image and a rhapsody on the Yellow Pavilion, two contradictory clues reflecting different themes. This chapter examines a broad range of textual and visual sources in order to answer the following questions: To what extent do Xia Yong’s two-dimensional jiehua images represent contemporary three-dimensional buildings? How did Yuan jiehua masters deal with the complex relationships between architectural verisimilitude, preexisting jiehua stereotypes, and painters’ original creations? This chapter makes a detailed investigation of modular organizations, prefabricated motifs, and standardized components in Xia’s works and explains why Yuan jiehua so easily seduce viewers into believing that they are accurate depictions of real architecture.
