Xu Chongsi

Xu Chongsi is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Palace Museum.

This artist painted delicate ink-and-wash scenes of plants and small animals, a tradition that goes back centuries in Chinese art. In *Flycatcher and Loquats*, a bird perches on a fruit-laden branch, leaves and berries softening the brushwork. The style is quiet, precise, and unhurried, letting the ink do the talking. Tap through to see the same bird and branch rendered in different seasons.
