Village and Temples in Jiangnan
Not on view
Gold, azurite, and malachite are perfectly suited to this depiction of the verdant Jiangnan ("South of the [Yangzi] River") landscape. In theforeground is a small village where travelers arriving by boat bow to one another or enjoy the view from a pavilion across a stream. Towering above the white-washed houses is the two-story hall of a temple; in the distance, other temples, one with a pagoda and freshly dyed red walls, nestle in the foothills.
