Chengguan Album 09
Jagged mountains rise dramatically in this serene landscape, framing a quiet river where a tiny boat drifts past a cascading waterfall. Lan Ying, a celebrated painter of the late Ming Dynasty, masterfully balances the towering peaks with delicate details like rustic pavilions and sparse trees. The facing page features bold, sweeping calligraphy that dances across the paper, creating a rhythmic dialogue between word and image. Known as the 'last master of the Zhe School,' Lan Ying lived a remarkably long life for his era, producing a vast body of work that blended professional polish with literati elegance.
