Lu Runxiang: A Master of Running and Kaishu Script in the Late Qing Lu Runxiang (陸潤庠), born in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, during the late Qing Dynasty (1841-1915), stands as a significant figure in Chinese calligraphy, particularly renowned for his masterful execution of running script (行書) and kaishu script (楷書). While often operating under the pseudonym Feng Shi (楓石), he was a man of considerable scholarly achievement, holding prestigious positions within the imperial court – including serving as tutor to Puyi, the last emperor of China. His work transcends mere aesthetic beauty; it’s imbue…
A chart of lu runxiang's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
