Dwelling Among Water and Bamboo, 28x48
Ni Zan, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty, was a wealthy eccentric famous for his obsession with cleanliness—legend has it he had servants scrub the trees in his garden! This serene landscape, titled 'Water and Bamboo Dwelling,' captures his ideal of a secluded, 'lazy' life away from society. The painting is surrounded by a visual 'guestbook' of calligraphy and red seals from later admirers, including the Qianlong Emperor, proving that his sparse and elegant style was beloved for centuries.
