During the [[Tang Dynastydynasty]], as a golden age in Chinese civilization, [[Chinese painting]] developed dramatically, both in subject matter and technique. The advancements in technique and style that characterized Tang Dynasty painting had a lasting influence in the art of other countries, especially in [[East Asia]] ([[Korea]], [[Japan]], [[Vietnam]]) and [[central Asia]].

During the early Tang period, the painting style was mainly inherited from the previous [[Sui Dynastydynasty]]. In this period, the "painting of people" (人物画) developed greatly. Buddhist painting and "court painting" played a major role, including paintings of the Buddha, monks, nobles etc.
 
Brothers [[Yan Liben]] (阎立本) and Yan Lide (阎立德) were among the most prolific painters of this period. Yan Liben was the personal portraitist to the [[Emperor Taizong of Tang|Emperor Taizong]], and his most notable works include the ''Thirteen Emperors Scroll'' (历代帝王图).
