金城 西山坐釣 設色絹本 鏡片 一九二四年作The inspiration for this painting is a composition by the Ming dynasty master Qiu Ying (1494-1551/2), now XXX. As an artist, Jin Cheng drew on a wide array of influences, primarily from classical Chinese paintings, but also from his time spent in England in 1902 and in Japan and Shanghai. While primarily absorbing the Qiu Ying blue and green style in this work, Jin Cheng also cites Li Tang (Li Xigu 1066-1150) and Tang Yin (1470-1523) in the inscription.
