Zhang Ruitu Landscape Map Fan Page

[Zhang Ruitu landscape map fan page]

landscape map fan page, Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ruitu painting, gold paper ink pen, 17.2 cm vertical, 53.8 cm horizontal
The composition of this fan page is full of ingenuity. The virtual pavilion, still water and distant mountains are introduced with luxuriant trees, making the space remote and vast. In the limited space, it shows the aesthetic charm of the folding fan painting, which is “small in size, big in size”. The whole picture is written in the style of the author’s book. The strokes are strong and there is a pause in the writing effect. Shi Mo successfully displays the hierarchical relationship between the landscapes by means of the composition of near thick and far light. This picture is a masterpiece of Zhang’s fan page painting, which is not in its shape but in its potential
This page is signed with the following words: “Guoting Jushi Ruitu was written in the taro source boat”, with the seal of “Zhang Ruitu” in white. In addition, there are four directions such as “Come to Xiacheng to play” and “Qilu”
