Chengguan Album 12
Step into a cooling summer retreat with this album leaf by Ming dynasty master Lan Ying. Titled 'Summer Trees Casting Shade,' the scene features misty mountains and delicate pavilions nestled among lush foliage, while a lone figure drifts in a small boat below. It’s the kind of peaceful escape scholar-painters dreamed of when city life got too stifling. The facing page holds elegant calligraphy, reminding us that in traditional Chinese art, poetry and painting were always best friends.
