Zhu Angzhi

Zhu Angzhi was an artist active across the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with verifiable dates spanning 1764 to 1837. Five works representing their output are held in major museum collections, establishing the artist as a practitioner of traditional Chinese literati arts.

The documented works include four paintings and one example of Calligraphy. Zhu Angzhi’s artistic practice demonstrated a profound engagement with established historical styles, a characteristic of later Qing dynasty scholarship. This adherence to tradition is explicitly noted in the titles of pieces such as Landscape in the style of Wang Meng and Listening to the Waterfall from a Moored Boat, in the manner of Wen Zhengming, indicating a focus on the lineage of the Yuan and Ming dynasty masters.

Further works in collections include the narrative scene Reading Daoist Scriptures by a Flowing Stream and the general category Landscape. A selection of Zhu Angzhi paintings and works on paper are preserved in institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These objects, often falling into the public domain, enable access to high-quality prints for scholarly study, confirming the artist's place within the late traditional painting schools.
