Tree Colors in Level Distance - Colophon 5 - Wang Shizhen
Think of this elegant page of running script as a 16th-century art review written directly onto the scroll. The Ming Dynasty literary giant Wang Shizhen penned this colophon to praise the Song Dynasty master Guo Xi's landscape 'Tree Colors in the Distance,' discussing its deep composition and immersive quality. His signature sits at the end, surrounded by a cluster of red collector seals—essentially the historical equivalent of 'likes' and 'stamps of approval' from various owners over the centuries. It's a fascinating glimpse into how scholars historically interacted with and preserved masterpieces.
