Yizhou is the pseudonym of the prominent Qing-dynasty art collector
An Qi (1683-1745?). An Qi was a native Korean who followed his father
to Beijing in his early years, serving as a tributary diplomat. He became
a trusted aide of the powerful statesman Mingju at the Kangxi court, and
was granted the right to conduct salt business in Tianjin and Yangzhou,
through which he amassed enormous amount of wealth, allowing him
to form one of the most extensive and formidable art collections in
Chinese history. His collection of paintings and calligraphy encompasses
some of the most well-known masterpieces such as A Letter to Boyuan
by Wang Xun. After An Qi’s decease, his family fortune diminished
considerably, with a majority of his art collection acquired by the
Qianlong Emperor, many of which are illustrated in Shiqu Baoji seal face impression
(Catalogue of the Qing Imperial Collection). 印面 印文
