Landscape After Xia Gui
View through Harvard Museums
Painted in ink on paper by Arnold Chang (Zhang Hong; b. 1954), this hanging scroll represents a mountainous landscape with a lake, river, or other body of water in the immediate foreground. Titled "Landscape after Xia Gui," the painting recalls the diagonally composed, misty landscapes painted by Xia Gui (active c. 1195–1224), one of the great masters of landscape painting during the Southern Song period (1127–1279). Located in the upper right corner, the artist’s short inscription and signature read "Dinghai chunyue Zhang Hong hua;" this text can be translated as “Painted [by] Zhang Hong [in the] early spring [of the] dinghai [year].” (The cyclical dinghai year corresponds to 2007.)
