Scholar Reclining and Watching Rising Clouds, Poem by Wang Wei, 1225-75. Creator: Ma Lin (Chinese

Scholar Reclining and Watching Rising Clouds, Poem by Wang Wei, 1225-75. Artists at the Southern Song Painting Academy were often trained in illustrating poetry. Here, Ma Lin responds to a poem composed by Tang poet Wang Wei (701-about 761) and written by emperor Song Lizong: " I walk unto where waters end--And sit down to watch when clouds arise." While two thirds of the round fan leaf remain empty, Ma Lin paints a scholar who gazes at a vast landscape panorama with a shore shrouded in mist and faint mountain ranges in the distance. This leaf and the emperors calligraphy were originally mounted together and must have made a precious imperial gift when bestowed on a worthy official or high dignitary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Scholar Reclining and Watching Rising Clouds, Poem by Wang Wei" created by Ma Lin during the Southern Song Dynasty in China. The painting beautifully captures the essence of a poem composed by Tang poet Wang Wei and written by Emperor Song Lizong. In this masterpiece, Ma Lin skillfully illustrates a scholar reclining amidst a vast landscape panorama. As two-thirds of the round fan leaf remain empty, our focus is drawn to the scholar's contemplative gaze towards a shore enveloped in mist and distant mountain ranges barely visible. The artist's delicate brushstrokes bring life to every detail, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Originally mounted together with Emperor Song Lizong's calligraphy, this artwork must have been an esteemed imperial gift bestowed upon deserving officials or high dignitaries. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic excellence but also in its representation of Chinese culture and poetic traditions. Heritage Art presents this remarkable piece as part of their collection, showcasing China's rich heritage through visual art. This print allows us to appreciate Ma Lin's mastery while offering insight into the cultural exchange between poetry and painting during ancient times.
