Landscape painting, quiet to nourish the heart

#头条创作挑战赛#

Wen Zhengming (c. 1470-c. 1559), a native of Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), was a calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty. His number Hengshan and Hengshan monks are known as the "Four Talents of Wuzhong" together with Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin, and Xu Zhenqing.

Perhaps due to the "Tie Hanhan" trait of being able to stand at the age of seven and learning to walk at the age of eleven, he showed unusual patience and purity in art, and the landscape world he painted seemed particularly clean and slow. He is in a hurry, like a cloud in the sky, which takes a day to slowly float from the left to the right.

The style of his works is dominated by "fine brush landscapes", which is exactly his true color painting. Although he studied under Shen Zhou, he was not influenced by Shen Zhou's strong and rough painting style, but preferred beautiful, delicate and elegant landscapes. In his brush, there are always pictures of chanting, cooking tea, watching the spring, and enjoying the shade, and looking at his landscape paintings can always give people a comfortable, quiet and warm feeling. This makes us, who live in the current urban complexity, find a quiet place to rest in his paintings, and immerse ourselves in this quiet and elegant painting, as if stealing half a day of leisure.

Summary: With its unique style and warm story, Wen Zhengming's landscape paintings have become an ideal place for us to find inner peace and leisure.
