Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, Leaf 9, 1600s. Creator: Fan Qi (Chinese, 1616-aft 1694)
Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, Leaf 9, 1600s. Leaf 9 Zhou Yis colophon reads: Ancient trees share the slanting rays of the setting sun. Chilly ravens hover round their branches. The leader of the flock thinks this a good place to rest, Evening being the time for returning. This flock is the so-called filial crow, Who, in disgorging their own food [to feed the young], have compassionate hearts. Were the people in the world all like this, Fine talent would be everywhere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of Chinese art from the 1600s. Created by Fan Qi, a renowned artist of the time, this leaf from the "Album of Miscellaneous Subjects" is truly a masterpiece. The colophon on Leaf 9, written by Zhou Yi, transports us to a serene scene where ancient trees bask in the warm glow of the setting sun. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the chill in the air as ravens gracefully circle around these majestic trees. Among them is their leader, who has chosen this tranquil spot for rest and reflection during evening hours – a time symbolizing homecoming and peace. The flock depicted here is known as filial crows – birds that possess compassionate hearts and selflessly regurgitate food to feed their young ones. This act of nurturing embodies deep care and love within nature's realm. In contemplating this painting's profound message, one cannot help but imagine what our world would be like if all people were as virtuous and caring as these filial crows. It evokes thoughts about how fine talent could flourish everywhere if compassion became widespread among humanity. Preserved on silk with ink and delicate colors, this artwork represents not only Fan Qi's skillful brushwork but also serves as a testament to China's rich artistic heritage during the Qing Dynasty. Thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' dedication to preserving such cultural treasures, we are able to appreciate and cherish this remarkable piece today.
