Dong Gao 董誥 (1740-1818), courtesy
name Yalun (雅倫) and Xijing (西京), style
name Zhelin (蔗林), was born in Fuyang,
Zhejiang Province, the eldest son of the
court painter Dong Bangda (1699-1769).
An accomplished scholar from an early age,
Dong Gao received his Jinshi degree in 1764
(the 29th year of Qianlong reign), at the young
age of 24 sui and a year after this album was
painted. He served Emperors Qianlong and
Jiaqing for more than four decades and held
numerous illustrious posts and supervised the
compilation of several Imperial histories and
anthologies. The emperors also prized Dong
Gao’s calligraphy and paintings, many of
which were included in the Palace Collection.

See a set of four albums of West Lake by
Dong Gao, which was sold at Christie’s New
York, 18 March 2009, lot 344.
