明朝末期,活跃于金陵(今江苏南京)的画家曾鲸,以肖像画闻名画坛,风靡一时,从学者甚众,开创了以他的字为名称的新画派——“波臣派”。清代前期,山水画、花鸟画得到极大的发展。相比之下,人物画,尤其是人物肖像画就显得势单力薄。虽然如此,并不就说明人物肖像画在这段时间里毫无作为了。相反,由于这一画科独特的和无法取代的作用,它仍然较之前代有新的发展和进步。 In the late Ming dynasty, the painter who was active in Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) once possessed the portraiture of portraits and became popular all over the world. He created a new school called “Bauchen” under his own name. Early Qing Dynasty, landscape painting, flowers and birds get great development. In contrast, figure painting, especially portraits of portraits appear to be weak. However, it does not mean that portrait portraits do nothing for this time. On the contrary, due to the unique and irreplaceable role of this art department, it still has new developments and advances over the previous generations.
