Roses and Wisteria by a Garden Rock
Li Shan 李鱓
"Roses and Wisteria by a Garden Rock" is a notable work by the Chinese painter Li Shan (c. 1664–1745), who was active during the Qing Dynasty. This painting exemplifies the artist's mastery of traditional Chinese brush techniques and his ability to convey the beauty of nature, reflecting the cultural appreciation for flora in Chinese art and contributing to the genre of flower-and-bird painting.
"Roses and Wisteria by a Garden Rock" by Li Shan features a harmonious composition of blooming roses and cascading wisteria, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and vibrant coloration. The juxtaposition of the delicate flowers against a textured garden rock creates a dynamic interplay of form and color, characteristic of traditional Chinese flower-and-bird painting.
