Paysages et poèmes à l'encre

Gong Xian Chinese
1688
Not on view
Loyal à la dynastie vaincue des Ming, l’ermite Gong Xian accepte son sort de yimin ou « sujet inemployé » sous les Qing (1644–1911). Cette feuille est tirée d’un album où Gong Xian fait une analogie entre les sanctuaires des immortels et ses lieux favoris à Nanjing, ancienne capitale des Ming. On y voit une demeure isolée. Dans le poème qui l’accompagne, Gong Xian compare l’orchidée aux ronces. La première supporte la froideur de l’hiver ; c’est le symbole des hommes vertueux. Les ronces, qui servent de bois à brûler, figurent les gens de peu. L’artiste a perfectionné une technique qui combine lavis et pointillage, propre à exprimer densité et transparence.
