Mt. Dong (Grotto Mountain), 1500s. Creator: Song Xu (Chinese, 1525-c. 1606) .

Mt. Dong (Grotto Mountain), 1500s. This album of landscape paintings depicts the famous scenic areas located in and around the city of Wuxing in southeastern China. The artist, Song Xu, was not a native of that city, but must have visited it when he accepted the commission, for he carefully depicted all eighteen views and wrote comments on each of them. These places were all known for their natural beauty, but in addition, a number were distingusihed by their links to eminent historical figures and events. Unlike other artists of his time, Song Xu favored a painting style that was technically polished and focused attention on specific, realistic details. Such an approach was well suited to projects like this one, for which the artist was in great demand.

Descripción:

Traducción automática: Monte Dong (Montaña de la Gruta), siglo XVI. Este álbum de pinturas de paisajes representa las famosas áreas escénicas ubicadas en la ciudad de Wuxing y sus alrededores, en el sudeste de China. El artista, Song Xu, no era oriundo de esa ciudad, pero debió haberla visitado cuando aceptó el encargo, ya que representó cuidadosamente las dieciocho vistas y escribió comentarios sobre cada una de ellas. Todos estos lugares eran conocidos por su belleza natural, pero además, varios se distinguían por sus vínculos con personajes y eventos históricos eminentes. A diferencia de otros artistas de su tiempo, Song Xu favorecía un estilo de pintura técnicamente pulido y que centraba la atención en detalles específicos y realistas. Este enfoque era muy adecuado para proyectos como este, para el que el artista era muy solicitado.
