The most famous picture of a lady in Chinese painting

The most famous picture of ladies in Chinese painting is the picture of ladies in Tang Palace.

The Picture of Ladies in Tang Palace is a group of five Chinese paintings, including Natalie's You Chuntu, the Picture of Ladies in Guo, the Stamping Picture, the Flower Picture of Ladies in Zhou Fang, the Fan Picture of Ladies, and the Palace Music Picture. It is an anonymous work in the late Tang Dynasty. It not only reflects the style of a single artist, but also reflects the changes of cultural relics in the whole Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has a history of more than 280 years, and its painting style has changed several times.

The Picture of Ladies in Tang Palace reflects the social definition of female beauty at that time. In the works handed down from generation to generation in the Tang Dynasty, such as The Picture of Tao Ren, The Picture of Zanhua Ladies, The Picture of Fan Hui Ladies, etc., the characters are all broad-forehead, round-face, short-face, full breasts, round arms and full hips. This kind of beauty is healthier than delicate beauty, and it is the representative of aesthetics in Tang Dynasty.

A group of famous painters in the Tang Dynasty, represented by Zhang Xuan and Zhang Wei, have long since got rid of the primary stage of simple realism. They can not only accurately describe the external beauty of women's figure, appearance and clothing, but also vividly convey their inner charm such as emotion, personality and temperament. The characters in their works have distinct personalities and both form and spirit.

Ladies painting in Tang Dynasty can be divided into three stages: early Tang Dynasty, prosperous Tang Dynasty and middle and late Tang Dynasty. The meticulous painting of ladies in the early Tang Dynasty is still largely influenced by the legacy of the Six Dynasties, which mainly refers to the thin modeling, the alternate use of flat painting and separate dyeing, the combination of line and color, and the alternate painting of plant color and mineral color.

Among them, the most typical ones are Yan's "Kings of Past Dynasties" and "Travel Map".
