As an official, he rose to the rank of Grand Secretary of the Wen-hua Hall. He also excelled at depicting insects-and-flowers, and he also painted from nature using a spontaneous manner. In terms of bird-and-flower painting in the “boneless” (wash) style, he followed the style of Yün Shou-p’ing (1633-1690). In this painting is a mountain gorge with a stream cascading down in the background. In the foreground are day-lilies and late-pink (lynchnis). Resting in the arbutus tree bearing fruit is a pair of flycatchers. The opulent style of this work invites the viewer to partake in the lively scene and peruse the details of each object. Chiang’s use of such opulent colors was an innovation in court bird-and-flower painting at the time. &*1.邱士華,〈清 蔣廷錫 畫楊梅練雀〉,收入馮明珠主編,《雍正—清世宗文物大展》(臺北:國立故宮博物院,2009年九月初版一刷),頁326。
