| Lohan Paintings | |
Liu Sung-nien , a native of Chien-tang, Chekiang Province, lived near the Ching-po Gate and was subsequently called Liu Ching-po. He entered the Painting Academy during the Shun-hsi period (1174-1189) and was promoted to tai-chao (painter-in-attendance) in the Shao-hsi era (1190-1194). In landscape and figure painting he followed the style of Chang Tun-li, and eventually surpassed his master. Liu's paintings are characterized by a pure and exquisite spirit. The Lohan is seated on a rattan stool. His staff rests on his shoulder. A monk carrying a scroll of sutra is requesting him to expound it.
