Ximeng, Wang. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains. 1113. Ink and paint on silk. 11.91 meters x 55.8 cm. Palace Museum, Beijing. I can’t get enough of the blues. This piece is amazing and clearly a masterpiece. It is incredibly hard to believe that it was done by an 18 year old, but he was a prodigy. It’s depressing that this is the only work of his left and that I will probably never achieve this level of skill. It’s also incredible how large it is, I had no idea that it was nearly 12 meters. The amazing detail in the mountains and valleys keeps my eyes on the artwork as well. -- source link
