Further details
The present selection of paintings come from the family collection of the civil engineer Hsia Kwang-Yu (Xia Guangyu, 1889-1970) who held important positions in the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Railways. A graduate of Peking University, he attended the Panama– Pacific International Exposition in 1915 and served as president of the China Civil Engineering Society. The artworks have since been cherished by and remained in the family.
