He was an excellent figure painter. Teng Ying-chou refers to an episode from the Biography of Ch’u Liang. In 621 Emperor T’ai-tsung, built the Wen-hsüeh Hall (Hall of Literature) to the west of the palace. He summoned there the greatest scholars of the Empire and ordered Yen Li-pen to paint their portraits and Ch’u Liang to inscribe a commemorative eulogy. The emperor had recorded their names and ranks, giving them the name of ‘The Eighteen Scholars.’ The work was kept in the palace collections to demonstrate the court’s attention to cultural life. The gathering of the scholars made such a deep impression throughout the empire that the name of the event was recorded in history. Although the original scroll was lost much earlier, this painting done with painstaking attention to minute detail, commemorates the scholarly meeting. It is a good representative of Ch’ing Academy painting. &* The court painter Chang T'ing-yen was a native of Yangchow and active in the Ch’ien-lung era (1736-1795). Chang’s father, Chang Wei-pang, was a painter in the Ju-i Hall at court and once studied painting from the Italian Jesuit Giuseppe Castiglione, his fusion of Western and Chinese methods winning court approval. With his father's influence, Chang T'ing-yen also had the chance to serve the court, taking part in several cooperative projects from 1744 to 1767. He also cooperated in painting with Castiglione. This work incorporates elements of Western perspective, in which objects near and far correspond to their ratio of sizes in reality, thus giving the classical T'ang (618-907) theme of the Eighteen Scholars a modern interpretation. &*1.陳德馨,〈治世能臣抑或危國邀功之徒? 張廷彥〈登瀛洲圖〉與乾隆題畫詩的解析〉,《故宮文物月刊》,第268期(2005年7月),頁66-77。
