- Physical Description
- This elegant painting of an idyllic retreat comes from an album of four landscape paintings (another is adjacent).
- Subject Matter
- The light use of ink and the simple quick strokes used to depict the mountains and rocks demonstrate well the “emptiness and nimbleness” of landscape, a misty and dreamlike quality that Huang Yue advocated in his art criticism. As an artist in the literati (amateur scholar-artist) tradition, he believed it was more important for a painting to express the artist’s character than to offer a faithful depiction of nature. Here the use of disproportionate scale, multiple perspectives pays homage to a tradition that may be traced back to an earlier literati forbear, the painter Dong Qichang.
