EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Landscape: Eve of Mid-autumn, dated 1686" takes us on a journey back to the Qing dynasty in China. Created by an unknown artist after Wang Hui, this 17th-century masterpiece showcases the beauty of nature during autumn. The image is presented as a hanging scroll, with delicate calligraphy enhancing its artistic value. The ink-on-paper technique used by the artist adds depth and texture to the landscape. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a serene countryside setting. The scene depicts rolling hills and valleys adorned with trees that have shed their leaves for fall. A meandering river flows through the landscape, reflecting the tranquility of this season. Majestic rocks dotting the terrain add a sense of grandeur to the composition. This artwork captures not only the physical geography but also evokes emotions associated with autumn - a time of transition and reflection. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its timeless beauty and contemplate life's ever-changing cycles. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this piece serves as a testament to Chinese artistry from centuries ago. Although created by an unknown artist, it continues to captivate audiences today with its exquisite portrayal of nature's splendor during mid-autumn in ancient China.
