Landscape

Shen Zhuo

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape by Shen Zhuo. The painting depicts a serene scene with a bridge spanning a river. In the foreground, there are rocky cliffs with trees on the left and right. The left side features a tall tree with sparse leaves and a thick trunk. On the right side, there is a smaller tree and a traditional Chinese house with a tiled roof. The bridge, located in the center, has a gentle arch and connects the two cliffs. In the background, there are mountains with varying shades of gray. The sky appears hazy, and the overall color palette of the painting is muted, with shades of beige, gray, and brown dominating the scene. The top left corner contains Chinese calligraphy in black ink, accompanied by two red stamps.
