An old subject, Temple Landscape, given the full Ju Ran treatment — exactly what this kind of traditional Chinese painting reproduction should be. The sheet is sold loose — a huaxin print with no scroll assembly and no frame.
Look for landscape, mountains, and waterfall — each given its own breathing room, a strong Chinese brush painting print by any measure. Around the main subject: temple, ink wash, and ink wash. The ink work is all wash and gradation — grey doing the work color usually does — a fine Asian wall decor. The landscape holds figures, water, and sky in a single breathing composition. The waterfall is the landscape’s voice — movement and sound in a still image. Juran, the monk-painter, wrapped his mountains in the mist of the southern hills.
The perfect housewarming gift for someone with actual taste, the kind of unmounted Chinese painting print worth framing well. Hang it in the dining room; good art is good company.
