計盛
明代宮廷貨郎圖名家
計盛是明代宣德年間的宮廷畫家，供職於文華殿。他擅長人物畫，與呂文英並稱為明代「貨郎」題材的代表畫家。其唯一傳世作品為《貨郎圖》。該作現藏於北京故宮博物院，為絹本設色，上有「文華殿待詔計盛寫」款識及「金門畫史」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'.
