The V&A's autumn 2013 exhibition brings together examples of Chinese painting from the beginning of the eighth century to the end of the nineteenth century. Presenting an overview of one of the world's greatest artistic traditions, more than 100 works, including some of the earliest surviving Chinese paintings, chart evolving themes and aesthetic preferences over the centuries – from figure paintings on silk for tombs and temples to the rise of landscape painting and the introduction of Western influences. Works on display range from small-scale intimate works created by monks and literati to scroll paintings more than 12 metres long.
