A gifted scholar of many talents, Ch’en excelled at poetry, writing, calligraphy, and painting, becoming as famous as his contemporary Tung Ch’i-ch’ang. Ch’en specialized in painting plum blossoms and bamboo in monochrome ink. His landscapes also were expansive in feeling. Tung Ch’i-ch’ang once commented that “although he [Ch’en] seemingly splashed ink to impart hoary and archaic energy [to his paintings], how can he be considered inferior to Wu [School] painters and in the realm of empty commonality?” Ch’en Chi-ju himself also once wrote, “If I likewise were to apply colors [to my paintings], they would be no different from those of rich men and common monks [i.e., everybody else].”
In this particular work, the style of the calligraphy is very individualistic and in a manner all his own.
