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.
