Jun Wu — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Jun Wu is a Chinese Orthodox School artist. 16 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jun Wu’s paintings show women tending silkworms and preparing silk in the late 1800s. The five small scrolls capture everyday scenes: rinsing threads in a river, soaking cocoons, storing silk, keeping worms warm, and spooling thread. These quiet scenes belong to a long tradition of Chinese ink painting focused on labor and nature. See how Wu paints light on water and hands at work by tapping Rinsing silk threads in river.
