Subject:Shan Shui style painting on silk
Posted By: Alex Sun, Jul 22, 2018 IP: 109.40.0.185
A friend of me got this Chinese Shan Shui painting and would like to understand more about it. It resembles a lot the work of painter Shen Zhou. Even one of the collector stamps on the painting are identical. Can someone provide more insights? Thanks much!

not style of Shen Zhou but style of Tang Yin, a different Ming painter, whose name is signed in the lower left. The two seals on the left are facsimiles of seals belonging to the Qianlong emperor, the oval seal at the upper right is a facsimile of an inventory seal used to denote that the painting is supposedly in a catalog of painting and calligraphy assembled under the Qianlong emperor. I can't read the second seal on the right but would assume it's yet another Qianlong seal. These seals would have appeared on Shen Zhou works in the imperial collection too, they are pretty well known.

While Tang Yin did paint landscapes showing cottages with people against a backdrop of mountains, this is not one of his works. I don't think it's a reproduction of an existing picture by him either, as his mountains and figures are typically more sophisticated while nonetheless trying to convey a sense of rusticity. Some examples of Tang's work can be seen here: http://www.comuseum.com/painting/masters/tang-yin/
