This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
Scholar-Recluse in Blue-Green Landscape
Chen Hongshou (Chinese, 1598/99–1652)
Hanging scroll; ink and color on silk; 1633
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Morse, 1972 1972.278.1
In this monumental landscape, Chen Hongshou alludes to the antique blue-and-green style in his use of flat planes of color, patterned foliage, and boldly contoured trees and rocks. Yet the exaggerated landscape forms and stylized banks of mist accentuate the unreality of the archaic conventions, emphasizing the isolation of the sensitively drawn gentleman and his attendant, whose presence gives the scene a troubling psychological edge.
