[Zhou Zhimian’s Hundred Flowers Painting]

The Hundred Flowers Painting volume, Ming Dynasty, Zhou Zhimian’s painting, paper, ink, 31.5 cm in length and 706 cm in width
The picture is written by the author himself: “Wanli Renyin (1602) wrote in autumn, Runan Zhou Zhimian.” It is the work of Zhou Zhimian in his later years. The picture depicts four seasons of flowers, most of which are woody flowers. The painter transformed the impressionistic landscape brush and ink of Wu School into the modeling language of flower-and-bird painting, forming the school of hooking flowers and leaves. The painter uses freehand brushwork to draw or paint flowers, leaves and branches, which casually reveals brightness and elegance, reflecting the uninhibited mind of literati painters
