Wang Hui

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape in the style of Li Gonglin by Wang Hui: The painting depicts a landscape scene with a body of water in the center, with mountains in the background and trees and a building to the lower right. The body of water stretches horizontally across the painting, with mountains on the opposite shore. The mountains are rendered in shades of gray and brown, with some peaks reaching high into the sky. In the foreground, there are several trees with bare branches on a rocky outcropping to the left and lush green foliage to the right, and a small building with a tiled roof and a fenced-in yard to the lower right. The painting is rendered in shades of brown and gray. There is calligraphy in the upper left corner. The overall atmosphere of the painting is serene and peaceful.
