Overview and quickfacts
Gong bi is a form of Chinese painting that is characterized by its intricate and detailed brushwork. The name Gong bi means “meticulous” or “laborious”, and the style is often used for depicting figures in a highly realistic manner. Gong bi painting first emerged during the Tang dynasty (618-907), and reached its peak during the Song dynasty (960-1279). The style then declined in popularity during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), but was revived during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Today, Gong bi painting is not as popular as it once was, but there are still a few artists who practice the style.

Detailed Description
Gong bi is a form of Chinese painting that is known for its highly detailed and realistic depictions of subjects. The name Gong bi means “meticulous” or “laborious”, and refers to the painstaking attention to detail that is characteristic of this art form. Gong bi painting first emerged during the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE), and reached its peak of popularity during the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE). Gong bi artists often worked as court painters, and their work was highly prized by the imperial family and the aristocracy. One of the most famous Gong bi painters was the 12th century artist Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322 CE). Zhao was a highly skilled painter and calligrapher, and his work often combined both of these art forms. He is best known for his painting “Garden of the Great Master”, which is a highly detailed and realistic depiction of a garden scene. Other notable Gong bi painters include the 13th century artist Xu Xi (1235-1300 CE) and the 14th century artist Wang Meng (1310-1385 CE). Gong bi painting fell out of favor during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 CE), when the court began to favor more abstract and expressive styles of painting. However, the art form has experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years, and there are now many contemporary artists who practice Gong bi.
