Abstract—Chen Hongshou was one of the most outstanding painters in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, especially good at figure painting. By incorporating his own insights on the basis of the inheritance of painting traditions in the Tang and Song dynasties, Chen Hongshou injected new elements into the development of Chinese figure paintings, provided new ideas, and influenced all the greatest masters of ukiyo-e profoundly. This paper explains the spirit of Chen Hongshou’s figure painting in terms of two points: “emulating the ancients” and “transforming the ancients”, as well as the ukiyo-e “getting rid of” its traditional painting styles under the influence of Chen Hongshou from the data related to art exchanges between China and Japan. By comparing Chen Hongshou and Katsushika Hokusai from the point of view of “figure painting performances” and “figure aesthetic connotations”, the comprehensive and profound influences of Chen’s figure painting on the creative thinking and artistic concepts of the ukiyo-e are summarized.

Keywords—Chen Hongshou, figure painting, Ukiyo-e, Katsushika Hokusai
