“Zhou Dunyi Admiring Lotuses,” a rare hanging scroll painted by Qiu Ying (circa 1495 – circa 1552), will be on display beginning Dec. 9 at The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens.
Qiu is one of the most celebrated Chinese artists of the 16th century. He worked primarily in Suzhoua city to the west of Shanghai with storied gardens that inspired the Huntington’s renowned Chinese Garden — and became famous for his meticulous depictions of literary themes.
