[Wang Yuanqi’s imitating Wuzhen landscape map axis]

The imitating Wuzhen landscape map axis, Qing Dynasty, Wang Yuanqi’s painting, paper, ink, vertical 141.7 cm, horizontal 51 cm
The upper part of this picture reads the long title by itself, and the title is signed with “Wang Yuanqi’s painting and title.” The seal is “Wang Yuanqi’s seal”, “Mao Jingwen’s seal”, and “Sao Hua An’s seal”. At the lower right corner is the seal of “descendants of Xilu”
This figure has no model year. According to Wang Yuanqi’s sentence, “The body is in the dark, but the heart is against the zota”, it is known that the map was made for him at the age of 55 on the day of mourning for his father, Wang Cait
The picture depicts the secluded scenery in Jiangnan. In terms of composition, Wang Yuanqi expanded the painting by showing the rocks and trees from near to far and from low to high. In terms of the expression of mountains, rocks and trees, Wang Yuanqi grasped the characteristics of Wuzhen’s good use of wet pen, and also expressed the lush landscape of mountains and rivers with moist ink containing water. The incisive and vigorous brush and ink make the Wuzhen landscape painting “green and wild, with the wind under the forest” interesting.
