计盛
明代宫廷货郎图名家
计盛是明代宣德年间的宫廷画家，供职于文华殿。他擅长人物画，与吕文英并称为明代"货郎"题材的代表画家。其唯一传世作品为《货郎图》。该作现藏于北京故宫博物院，为绢本设色，上有"文华殿待诏计盛写"款识及"金门画史"印章。 The 'Peddler Scroll' continues the tradition of Song dynasty artist Li Song's peddler scenes, showing a peddler arranging his shelves while children admire the items. The shelves are filled with hundreds of small birds, masks, and other toys. The peddler is dressed like a military official, and the children are in elaborate clothing, reflecting courtly aristocratic style, earning it the nickname 'Court Peddler'. The painting follows the Ming court painting style, incorporating imagery of 'five sons passing the imperial exam' and 'six sons reunited', symbolizing blessings for many children. It's considered part of the category of festive court paintings. Similar works include a Ming dynasty lacquer box with a peddler design and Han Sheng’s 'Peddler Paintings'.
