The self-knowledge of this painting: “The little sand gulls go down to the fields, and the wild fishing houses hide the stream smoke. The fishing nets are collected on the willow banks at sunset, and the duck boats are released in the autumn water. The picture of Zhao Wenmin’s Gongshui Village is released by the Gengzi of Kangxi on August 20. Wang Luo, the woodcutter of Chamo Mountain.” The seal “Gennan Luo”, “Mei Qiao Zi”, “Chamo Mountain Woodcutter” and other seals. “Kangxi Gengzi” is the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1720)
This painting imitates Zhao Mengfu’s “Water Village Atlas” of the Yuan Dynasty, and draws the scenery of Jiangnan Water Village with the Pingyuan method. The artistic conception of the picture is remote and quiet, pursuing the style of “plain and naive”. Wang Luo’s painting style comes from the landscape of the Southern School, and the “Dong Ju” method is used in the distant mountains, but the moss points are slightly more rigid than Zhao Mengfu’s. Wang Luo’s surviving works are rare.
