The Tearful Parting of Su Wu and Li Ling, Ming dynasty, 16th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to witness an emotional moment between two historical figures. This artwork, formerly attributed to Liu Guandao, showcases the intricate details of the Ming dynasty's artistic style. In this scene, we see Su Wu and Li Ling bidding farewell against a wintry backdrop. The artist skillfully captures their deep sense of longing and sorrow through their expressive faces and body language. As Su Wu prepares to embark on his diplomatic mission for his country, he embraces Li Ling tightly while tears stream down both their faces. The clothing worn by these men reflects the fashion trends of the era with vibrant colors and elaborate designs. The snowy landscape adds to the poignancy of the moment as it symbolizes the harshness they will face during their separation. This painting not only depicts a personal parting but also carries political undertones. Both Su Wu and Li Ling were renowned politicians who played significant roles in Chinese history. Their departure signifies sacrifice for duty and loyalty towards their nation. Displayed at Arthur M Sackler Gallery within Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this hanging scroll mounted on panel serves as a valuable educational resource for those interested in Chinese heritage art from the 16th century Ming dynasty period. It allows viewers to delve into history while appreciating its artistic beauty – a testament to how art can transcend time and evoke powerful emotions even centuries later.
