Listening to the Waterfall from a Moored Boat, in the manner of Wen Zhengming
Zhu Angzhi Chinese
Not on view
Reclining in a boat at the foot of a waterfall, a gentleman contemplates the cascade. A Buddhist temple is nestled deep within the mountains at top left. The artist’s inscription captures the sense of harmony the recluse finds in this place, removed from the flow of the world:
The temple bell resonates with the sounds of the waterfall, and not one bit of the world’s filth finds its way here.
