This picture is based on Li Bai’s poem “Send a Friend to Sichuan”: “The mountain starts from the human face, and the clouds grow on the horse’s head” (see Volume 177 of “The Complete Tang Poems”). By depicting the mountains that rise in front of you and the white clouds floating at the horse’s head, the poetic image is vividly illustrated. The precipitous terrain of the mountains and the adventurous spirit of the travelers are clearly visible. This painting abandons the lofty, flat and far-reaching composition of traditional landscape painting, taking the “S” shaped ridge as the main line, highlighting the image of people and horses, and extending the vertical trend of the mountains, so that the spatial level of the painting can be expanded. It is a masterpiece of Ren Yi’s figure landscape painting in the mature period of art
