Fishermen-Hermits in Stream and Mountain, 1300s. Creator: Wu Zhen (Chinese, 1280-1354)
Fishermen-Hermits in Stream and Mountain, 1300s. Aspiring to free and harmonious living in the natural world was a recurring theme in traditional Chinese landscapes, especially paintings by gentleman-scholars. The fisherman-hermit in this painting symbolizes the ideal of a humble rural life to escape the dusty world. The Confucian principle also demanded that artists have high moral character. To retreat from fame and pursue a simple, bucolic life was always a lofty dream. This painting was originally attributed to artist Zhao Yong, but has been recently reattributed to Wu Zhen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fishermen-Hermits in Stream and Mountain, 1300s" by Wu Zhen takes us back to the traditional Chinese landscapes of the 14th century. The painting reflects the deep-rooted desire among gentleman-scholars for a life free from worldly distractions, immersed in nature's harmony. The fisherman-hermit depicted here serves as a symbol of this idealized rural existence, offering an escape from the chaos of urban life. In line with Confucian principles, artists were expected to possess high moral character, and Wu Zhen's portrayal beautifully captures this aspiration. Originally attributed to Zhao Yong, this masterpiece has recently been reattributed to Wu Zhen himself. Created during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), it is executed on silk using ink and color techniques commonly employed during that era. Displayed as a hanging scroll at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this artwork showcases Wu Zhen's mastery in capturing both the physical beauty of nature and its spiritual essence. It invites viewers to contemplate their own longing for simplicity and tranquility amidst a bustling world. Heritage Art/Heritage Images brings forth this remarkable piece as part of their collection dedicated to preserving cultural heritage through art prints. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only Wu Zhen's talent but also offers insight into ancient Chinese values and aesthetics that continue to inspire today.
