Paisagem em tinta com poemas

Gong Xian Chinese

Not on view

O eremita Gong Xian se manteve leal à dinastia Ming vencida, resignando-se a ser um yimin, ou “pessoa esquecida”, sob a dinastia Qing (1644–1911). Nesta folha, parte de um álbum em que compara seus lugares favoritos em Nanjing, a antiga capital Ming e arredores com as moradas dos imortais. Nesta folha, parte do álbum, Gong pintou uma casa humilde de hermita e incluiu um poema sobre as orquídeas—simbolizando os homens virtuosos—capazes de suportar o frio do inverno, enquanto as sarças—simbolizando os homens inferiores—são usadas como lenha para o fogo. O artista aperfeiçoou uma técnica de lavagem de tinta e pontilhado que lhe permitiu alcançar a densidade e translucidez nas suas pinturas.
