Montanhas no verão

Attributed to Qu Ding Chinese

Not on view

Entre os anos 900 e 1100, os pintores chineses criaram visões de paisagens que retratam o caráter sublime da criação. Para apreciá-las, os espectadores têm que se identificar com as figuras humanas em tais pinturas. Nas Montanhas no verão, os viajantes avançam em direção ao templo. A montanha central se ergue majestosa, como um imperador entre seus súditos, o ápice da hierarquia natural. A técnica usada com pinceladas texturais e de lavagem de tinta sugere um autor ativo para o ano de 1050. A data é confirmada por selos de colecionistas que pertencem ao imperador Huizong de Song (r. 1101–1125), cujo catálogo de pinturas registram três obras chamadas de Paisagem estival, de Qu Ding, pintor até certo ponto desconhecido.
