[introduction to collection]: Lin Liang (1428-1494), a famous painter of Ming Dynasty, was born in Nanhai (now Guangzhou). He is good at painting flowers, fruits and feathers. His ink bird, tree and stone, inherited the Southern Song Dynasty courtyard style painting school's indulgent and simple brushwork, vigorous and flying, cursive style, flexible ink color, is the representative writer of Ming Dynasty courtyard style flower and bird painting, and the founder of Ming Dynasty freehand brushwork painting school. Works handed down from generation to generation include the painting of gathering birds with shrubs, the painting of white plumage of Camellia, the painting of double eagles, etc.

明初洪武至弘治的百余年内， 占据画坛主位的是皇家画院的宫廷绘画。时代特色和风格成型主要体现在宣德、成化、弘治三朝。尤其是花鸟画，突破“院体”程式，出现了工笔重彩、水墨写意、设色没骨等多种风格，并有所创新。其中水墨写意的开派人物便是林良。他创作的“文人画化”的水墨写意花鸟画，使明代“院体”花鸟出现了新的生机。虽然在明之前也有水墨写意花鸟，但仍以勾染为主流形式，而且宋“院体”花鸟在元代仍保持着很大的影响力。

During the hundred years from Hongwu to Hongzhi in the early Ming Dynasty, the court paintings of the Royal Academy dominated the painting world. The characteristics of the times and the formation of style are mainly reflected in Xuande, Chenghua and Hongzhi dynasties. In particular, the flower and bird painting broke through the "courtyard style" program, and appeared a variety of styles, such as fine brushwork and heavy color, ink freehand brushwork, color without bone and so on. Among them, Lin Liang is the pioneer of freehand brushwork. He created the "literati painting" of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, which brought new vitality to the "courtyard style" of flowers and birds in Ming Dynasty. Even before Ming Dynasty, there were also freehand brushwork flowers and birds, but the main form was gouran, and the "courtyard style" flowers and birds in Song Dynasty still maintained a great influence in Yuan Dynasty.

明代的水墨写意花鸟画，由林良开派，以后耕耘其间者接踵而至， 如沈周、陈淳、徐渭等，一步步将写意法推向臻境，并成为明代花鸟画最流行和最富成就的一种形式，终汇就明清泱泱大观的写意花鸟画风。林良无疑起了先导作用。他在花鸟画的发展史上，是不可或缺的重要人物。百鸟朝凤图，长121cm，宽61cm。百鸟构图准确，千姿百态，飞鸣饮啄等不同姿态的禽鸟，形体坚实，羽翼丰满，羽毛层次分明，真实而又生动。且凤为百鸟之首，雍容华贵。收藏价值较高！

The freehand brushwork of flowers and birds in Ming Dynasty was initiated by Lin Liang, and then came one after another, such as Shen Zhou, Chen Chun and Xu Wei. They gradually pushed the freehand brushwork to a new level, and became the most popular and successful form of flowers and birds in Ming Dynasty, and finally merged the grand style of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Lin Liang undoubtedly played a leading role. He is an indispensable figure in the history of flower and bird painting. It is 121cm long and 61cm wide. The birds with different postures, such as flying, singing, drinking and pecking, are solid in shape, plump in wings, distinct in layers, real and vivid. And the Phoenix is the first bird, elegant. High collection value!
