His style name was Shu-p’ing; his sobriquet was Pao-shan-tzu. He was famous for his filial piety and loyal friendship. An accomplished poet, writer, painter and calligrapher, he was a student of such artistic luminaries as Chu Yün-ming (1460-1526) and Wen Cheng-ming (1470-1559). In his paintings he gave full play to his idiosyncratic style. He excelled at drawing from life, and his flower-and-bird and bamboo-and-rock paintings show a great sense of animation. Lu became a well-known Ming dynasty painter. Magnolias in buds or in full bloom arranged with a branch of peach blossoms presents a very uncomplicated composition in this painting. Of primary importance in flower painting is attaining a proper positioning of composition. The branches and flowers in bloom are united smoothly, evoking a very vivid picture. This work was completed when the artist was sixty-six. &*1.王耀庭、張華芝,〈明陸治桃花玉蘭〉,收入王耀庭、張華芝編,《明陸治作品展覽圖錄》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,1992年初版),頁77。
