Sun Junze
Pionier Zhejiang-school, Ma-Xia stijl
Sun Junze (孙君泽) (geboorte- en overlijdensdata onbekend), met als hoffelijke naam Zixiao (子潇), was een schilder tijdens de Yuan-dynastie, leefde in de 14e eeuw en kwam uit Hangzhou. Sun Junze was bekwaam in het schilderen van landschappen en figuren, waarbij hij de tradities volgde van de Zuidelijke Song-schilders Ma Yuan en Xia Gui. Zijn penseelvoering en artistieke charme waren stilistisch vergelijkbaar met die van Ma Yuan. His works include 'Landscape with Figures,' 'Snowy Landscape,' 'Landscape Scroll,' and 'Pavilion Landscape,' among others. 'Landscape with Figures' is kept at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, while the 'Landscape Scroll' is housed at Jingyuan Studio, University of California, Berkeley. Some of his other works can also be found in Japan. In the Zhejiang region, Sun Junze continued the legacy of the Southern Song Ma and Xia landscapes, becoming a pioneer of the Zhejiang school of landscape painting. Very few of his works survive today; they are almost entirely lost in China, with only a handful known to exist abroad.
