Subject:Info on Chung Wei, artist from Ji-yang, 18th/19th century
Posted By: Info on Chung Wei, artist from Ji-yang/ 18th/19th Tue, Jul 09, 2019 IP: 99.102.138.126 In the 90s, I inherited a gigantic silk scroll (102" x 58") and had it looked at by Dr. Milan Mihal at Vanderbilt. At the time, he believed it was painted by Chung Wei, who was from Ji-yang, "dating between the 18th and 19th century" possibly older. Dr. Marshall Wu from Michigan believed it was a "minor artist of the 19th century." I was wondering if anyone had access to data that might provide further information on this artist or painting? |

Posted By: rat Wed, Jul 17, 2019 the information you received sounds on track, but the artist's name should be romanized as Chen Wei 陳渭, Chen being the surname. I see two people by this name in imperial times, but neither seemingly your artist (one a calligrapher who also painted landscapes, the other a poet and calligrapher from Zhejiang province during the 18th century). Your photo is blurry but the painting seems to be of decent quality. |

Posted By: Peggy Gardner Thu, Jul 18, 2019 Thank you to the two people who replied. I appreciate you for taking the time to review. This painting is gorgeous and the colors and quality are beautiful, so I really enjoy it. My uncle had this. He was a very wealthy designer in Washington DC and had several nice Asian pieces. My iPhone didn’t take great pictures, I will try and get better ones. It will be first of Aug before I can do that. |
