Landscape after Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan by Dong Qichang
Dong Qichang (1555–1636) was a prominent Chinese painter, calligrapher, and art theorist of the late Ming Dynasty. His work, Landscape after Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan, exemplifies his deep engagement with the literati painting tradition, which emphasized personal expression and scholarly ideals over realistic representation. Dong Qichang was heavily influenced by earlier masters such as Huang Gongwang and Ni Zan, whose styles he sought to reinterpret and synthesize in his own work. This painting, executed in ink on paper, reflects his innovative approach to landscape painting, characterized by a bold use of brushwork and a focus on abstract forms. Dong's contributions to art theory, particularly his division of Chinese painting into Northern and Southern schools, had a lasting impact on the development of Chinese art. His work continues to be celebrated for its intellectual depth and aesthetic refinement.
