Beschreibung

Handscroll; Color on paper; 205cm(width)*22cm(height) This painting depicts a lake in autumn. Its composition is well balanced and has variation in its details, making the entire scene appear three-dimensional and conveying a sense of serenity and ease. Its brushstrokes are mostly blunt, with mid-point strokes accompanied by other brush techniques, highlighting a sense of abstraction in solidity, or the intangible within the tangible.

Autor

Shen Zhou (1427-1509) was a Ming Dynasty painter from Changzhou (present day Suzhao, Jiangsu Province), known also by aliases including Qian, Shitian, and Baishi Weng. He did not sit for the traditional official examinations, instead dedicating himself to writing poetry and essays, calligraphy, and painting. He particularly excelled at landscape painting. Following the principles of Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, and later Huang Gongwang and Wu Zhen, his work features thick, solid strokes, strong middle strokes, and a profound, poised style. He also excelled in meticulous strokes, integrating sublime grandeur into his subtle lines, earning the name "Meticulous Shen". He rose to the status of one of the Four Great Painters of the Ming Dynasty, alongside Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, and Qiu Ying.
