Pinzones y bambú

early 12th century
Not on view
Huizong, octavo emperador de la dinastía Song, estaba dotado de un talento artístico muy superior al de los demás miembros de su dinastía. Si bien Pinzones y bambú tipifica el estilo realista de las pinturas de flores y pájaros creadas en la academia de Huizong, el emperador prefería captar el espíritu del modelo en vez de representarlo literalmente, tanto al hacer un apunte del natural como al ilustrar un poema. Estos pinzones, fruto de su meticulosa observación, parecen aves vivientes. Unas gotas de laca en los ojos les dan el último toque de verosimilitud.
