Co-curated with Chen Jie-jin, this exhibition was the first to systematically reassess the Che School within the old Qing court collection. Rising in Zhejiang under early Ming imperial patronage, the Che School dominated 15th–16th century painting and exerted wide international influence, shaping artistic traditions in Muromachi Japan and Joseon Korea. The exhibition corrected long-standing misattributions in the Palace Museum collection, where many works had been re-inscribed with names of earlier masters. Featuring 85 works across two seasons, the show traced the Che School’s stylistic origins, its interactions with the Ming court, and its later decline, while prompting broader reflection on how mainstream cultural preferences shape the recognition—and erasure—of once-dominant artistic lineages.
