The transition from the late Ming to the early Qing dynasty (around the 17th century) was a turbulent time of dynastic change from the Han Chinese-ruled Ming dynasty (1368–1644) to the Manchu-ruled Qing dynasty (1616–1912). This exhibition features examples of late Ming and early Qing calligraphy and paintings, focusing on works in the calligraphic running and cursive styles and landscape paintings, which were based on classical styles, but made effective use of materials and formats, establishing new and innovative styles.
