Wen Chia (1501-1583) Ming Dynasty Wen Chia, Second son of the famous artist Wen Cheng-ming (1470-1559), was a native of Ch’ang-chou, Kiangsu. His style name was Hsiu-ching and his sobriquet, Wen-shui. An accomplished poet, calligrapher, and painter, he excelled at landscape painting, in which he is known for his exquisite, rhythmic brushwork. In this autumn scene of Stone Lake, the sky has just cleared after a storm, leaving some clouds still hanging in the sky. The leaves of the trees are particularly well done; dark ink was applied to a preliminary layer of light ink just as it began to dry, and thus the two layers blended together. The modeling lines and texture-strokes of the mountains and rocks are etched in only lightly, the washes of ink transforming the stone. The bridge in the painting is called “Traveling-in-Spring Bridge;” the mountain is called “Leng-chia Mountain;” and the pagoda and courtyard on the peak belong to the place known as both “Chih-p’ing Temple” and “Leng-chia Temple.” The area depicted here was frequently visited by the literati of the surrounding Wu Prefecture, and it often became the subject matter for artists of the Wu School of painting, which flourished in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Description Wen Chia was the son of Wen Cheng-Ming. Following his father, he excelled at poetry, calligraphy, and painting. His landscape paintings are especially elegant and harmonious. Stone Lake is located 20 kilometers southwest of Soochow and is one of the area's scenic sites noted for beautiful hills and lakes. Wu School artists often made it the subject of their paintings. In this album, the autumn scenery of Stone Lake is shown after rain, just before the mist evaporates. Trees and rocks have a luxuriant beauty to them. Spring Bridge and Mt. Leng-chia are seen, while the pagoda and courtyard on the mountain belong to Chih-p'ing Temple (also known as the Leng-chia Temple). 開放院藏書畫類、器物類、織品類文物中階圖像（600萬畫素）計約41萬幅，中階圖檔及本網站文字均以 「CC授權條款4.0」之CC BY 姓名標示規範 ，無須申請、不限用途、不用付費即可公開使用，惟需於適當位置呈現中文或英文姓名標示（選擇一種表示型式），○○○○○為使用圖檔之品名。 中文表示型式： ○○○○○ 國立故宮博物院，臺北，CC BY 4.0 @ www.npm.gov.tw 英文表示型式： ○○○○○ The National Palace Museum, Taipei, CC BY 4.0 @ www.npm.gov.tw 上述文物低階、中階圖像，均無需申請、不限用途、不用付費，可直接下載，公開使用，但不包括專利權及商標權。惟使用者使用開放資料之圖檔自行製作製成品時，應避免使他人誤會為係本院所製作之製成品。 隱私權宣告 資訊安全政策 《故宮典藏資料檢索》提供國立故宮博物院（簡稱本院）所藏器物、書畫和織品的典藏資料檢索，上述三者可再往下細分為銅器、陶瓷器、玉器、琺瑯器、雕刻、漆器、錢幣、文具、雜項、織品、絲繡、繪畫、法書、法帖、拓片和成扇等16類。 如需查詢本院所藏檔案文獻，請至 國立故宮博物院清代檔案檢索系統 。 如需查詢本院所藏善本古籍，請至 國立故宮博物院古籍輿圖檢索系統 。 《故宮典藏資料檢索》提供使用者「簡易（關鍵字）查詢」、「進階查詢」、「查詢結果後分類篩選」等檢索功能，並有列表及卡片兩種模式可以檢視檢索結果，在列表模式可勾選搜尋結果並匯出清單（檔案格式為csv）。 本站提供100萬畫素圖檔及600萬畫素圖檔予使用者下載利用，圖檔使用授權規範請參考本站網站資料開放宣告。使用者也可以直接在線上以IIIF瀏覽600萬畫素圖檔。
