Biography
Yun Shouping originally had the name Ge and the style name Shouping, by which he later went. A native of Wujin in Jiangsu, he at first excelled at landscape painting but later felt that he could not compete with the master Wang Hui (1632-1717), turning to flowers instead. His style can be traced all the way back to the 'boneless' method of washes used by Xu Chongsi (fl. latter half of 10th c.), but with his own interpretation as well. With his tender and elegantly beautiful manner, Yun Shouping became a master of flower painting in the Qing dynasty praised by many.
