注脚:十七/十八世紀 髹漆加彩西湖風景圖十二扇屏風Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province is famous for its historic and cultural scenic spots dotted around its famous West Lake. With distinguished scholar-poets such as Bai Juyi 白居易 (772-846) and Su Dongpo 蘇東坡 (1037-1101) as former governors, West Lake became a major attraction for the literati who travelled there to write and paint their own impressions. Dong Bangda (1699-1769) painted 'forty views' of Hangzhou, giving the names of the topographical elements characteristic of the town and West Lake.For related screens with depictions of the West Lake, see W. De Kesel and G. Dhont, Coromandel Lacquer Screens, Ghent, 2002, pp.71-75.
