Snowy Landscape Hanging Scroll, silk, 144.2x78.1 by Dai Jin

Dai Jin, the founder of the Ming Dynasty's Zhe School, creates a dramatic vertical composition where tiny travelers are dwarfed by massive, craggy peaks. Nestled high in the cliffs are traditional pavilions, suggesting a hidden retreat far from the bustle of daily life. Although the title indicates a snowy landscape, the artist relies on stark, monochromatic ink washes to evoke a chilling, serene atmosphere rather than heavy white pigment.
