A Taoist Vision in Ink: The Life and Art of Wu Boli Wu Boli, a name resonating with the quiet power of 14th-century China, stands as a compelling figure bridging the realms of religious devotion and artistic expression. Born in Beijing during a period of dynastic transition—the waning years of the Yuan dynasty and the dawn of the Ming—Wu Boli was not merely a painter but a Taoist priest deeply immersed in the spiritual currents of his time. His life, though shrouded in some historical distance, reveals a dedicated practitioner of the Shangqing school of Taoism, centered on Dragon Tiger Mount…
A chart of wu boli's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
