Zhu Meicun (1911-1993), 'Green Clouds and Rocky Valleys'. Length: 91 cm (35.83 in); Width: 39.5 cm (15.55 in). Hanging scroll, colour on paper. This blue-green landscape was painted by Zhu Meicun in the Jichou year, drawing inspiration from Gao Kegong and Zhao Mengfu of Yuan dynasty, inheriting the lingering charm of Song landscape masters. The painting features stacked lofty peaks. Rock formations are rendered with axe-cut and hemp-fibre texture strokes, layered with azurite and malachite washes for deep verdant tones. Clouds are depicted by reserved and blended ink, swirling gently among mountains. Waterfalls cascade down cliffs, interspersed with pines and maple trees dotted with crimson autumn leaves. In the foreground, a winding mountain path carries a traveller on donkeyback together with a porter, infusing the grand scenery with vivid human presence. A seven-character poem in neat regular script occupies the upper left, signed Zhu Meicun in winter of Jichou year, with one red seal. With rich composition and balanced void and solid forms, the work combines the grandeur and elegance of Song-Yuan landscape painting, a refined representative landscape by the artist. Mounted in original silk brocade, the paper bears natural age toning and remains in good condition.
