When he was young, he went to the capital, K'aifeng, where he was a merchant. Later, he became a talented artist and received the favor of Kao I, a Painter-in-Attendance in the Painting Academy.Through Kao I, he entered the Painting Academy as an Attendant.He was a master of landscape and figure painting.He was particulary accomplished in painting landscapes of the four seasons. We may especially admire his delicate and charming style. In the Painting Academy, his paintings were called "Landscapes in Master Yen's style." This scroll depicts serried peaks; the autumn skies are beginning to clear but the mist has not yet dispersed, giving a clear impression of an autumnal atmospere. Through the mist a tumbling stream can be seen. A small path leads to a Taoist monastery in the mountains. Although this painting bears Yen Wen-kuei's signature, it is much closer in style to paintings of the Ming dynasty.&*本幅寫山峰林立,山谷中煙嵐留滯,似欲描寫山雨初收。澗壑奔流直瀉,小路迴曲,延向山中樓閣,景境幽靜清雅。本幅雖款繫燕文貴,惟畫風較近似晚明。燕文貴(約西元十一世紀),浙江吳興人。少時曾流落京師(河南開封)為商販,後來才華被畫院待詔高益所賞識,得以進入畫院任祇候之職。山水、人物均佳,尤善於描繪四季景物,清雅可愛。畫院中人稱其畫為「燕家景」。(20100710)&* This work depicts many serried peaks with mists trailing the valleys between, like a scene shortly after rain. Torrents rush down the ravines as a path winds up to the buildings among the peaks, creating a serene and elegant setting. Though bearing a Yan Wengui signature, the style is actually closer to the late Ming (1368-1644). As a destitute youth, Yan Wengui (from Wuxing, Zhejiang) went to the capital (Kaifeng, Henan) to sell goods. His talent in art was recognized by the court painter Gao Yi, who recommended him. Yan thus served in the Painting Academy. A master of landscape and figures, Yan was gifted at scenes of the four seasons in a pure manner appreciated by many. In the Painting Academy, they were called “Yan Master Scenes.”(20100710)
