Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage 54x33
Dai Jin, the founder of the Ming Dynasty's Zhe School, brings the famous tale of 'Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage' to life here. In the foreground, Liu Bei and his companions stand respectfully near a humble hut, waiting to recruit the brilliant strategist Zhuge Liang. The scene is framed by a dramatic, gnarled pine tree and towering, misty mountains, perfectly capturing the reverence of the moment. This hanging scroll is a brilliant example of how Chinese landscape painting often serves as a stage for historical drama.
