Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Chinese art collection: The Museum of Fine Arts Boston has received its biggest and most significant gift of Chinese art to date, the 183 objects in the Wan-go H.C. Weng Collection. Particularly rich in works from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties, the donation encompasses 130 paintings, 31 calligraphic works, 18 ink rubbings and four textiles, and will complement the museum’s holdings from the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) periods. The core objects were amassed in the 19th century by Weng’s great-great-grandfather and passed down from generation to generation. Highlights of the collection, which emphasises the expressive literati school of Chinese painting, are to go on view at the museum this autumn. Courtesy of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
