Donated to the Hong Kong Museum of Art in 2021, Jingguanlou is a private art collection compiled by the renowned collector and photographer Dr Leo Wong Kwai-kuen. The term Jingguan literally means “silent viewing” and is derived from the wisdom of Cheng Ho, a famous Confucian scholar of the Northern Song, that “All things can provide contentment when viewed with calm contemplation” . The collection is primarily on 20th-century Chinese paintings and calligraphy.  It covers mainly valuable works by masters of the Shanghai School of painting, with the most comprehensive collection of artworks created by three masters, namely Zhu Qizhan (1892-1996), Xie Zhiliu (1910-1997) and Chen Peiqiu (1923-2020), at different stages in their lives. Against this backdrop, Hongkong Post is continuing its Hong Kong Museums Collection by issuing a set of six stamps and two stamp sheetlets on “Hong Kong Museums Collection – Jingguanlou” to showcase the selected classic artworks by these three masters from the Jingguanlou collection.
