| 内容简介（英文） | Fragrant Lotus in Rain Yun Shou-p’ing (1633-1690) Ch’ing Dynasty In poetry and literature, Yun Shou-p’ing was known as one of the Six Talents of P’i-ling and a master in early Ch’ing painting. He early studied landscape painting, but felt that he could not compete with masters of the time. He thus specialized in flower painting, adapting the “boneless” wash method of Hsu Ch’ung-ssu to create a new style and become one of the premier flower painters of the Ch’ing. Here, blossoms emerge from the canopy of leaves. Dry and wet strokes interact to delineate the leaves. Steady lines for the veins add stability to the ink washes, giving the effect of lotuses in the rain bending with elegance. This is the 5th leaf from the album Wondrous Sketches in Ink. |
