Show traces influence of Zhao Mengfu on Chinese painting and calligraphy

Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322), who was a Song Dynasty (960-1279) royal, made a controversial move to switch loyalties to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). But that is not his claim to fame.

He is better known for his contribution to Chinese painting and calligraphy as visitors to the Paintings and Calligraphic Works of Zhao Mengfu, an ongoing exhibition at the Palace Museum in Beijing, will testify.

The exhibition features 102 works from the museum and other key institutions around the country like Shanghai Museum and Liaoning Provincial Museum in Shenyang.
