Subject:Looking for date and artist info?
Posted By: Amy S Thu, Apr 11, 2024 IP: 2601:188:ce01:1910:3
I bought this recently at a second hand store and thought it was very interesting. Was wondering if anyone knew any information about it. The back of the frame is just paper. I looked on another site for a translation and they came back with:
The blue mountain and green water by Zhong Zhi
they weren't sure about the seal they said maybe ?yuan?

Thanks

Seal,

I managed to get the full seal impression from the same painter's picture on the Kongfuzi site below.

the readings you received are not wrong, and this is a recent work in traditional style, unlikely to predate the 1990s or so. It's not necessarily intended as fine art but does reflect earlier stylistic traditions. In particular: the composition broadly relates to a theme since the Yuan period of "hills beyond a river", the brushwork of the hills to Yuan painter Huang Gongwang (cf https://artsandculture.google.com/story/dwelling-in-the-fuchun-mountains/DQIiSlv0zyTfKg), but as viewed through the lens of subsequent Wu School painters (Ming artists in the region of Suzhou). the picture's title is referring back to an earlier traditional of landscapes in a blue and green palette (referring to the opulence of Tang China but quoted by later painters too, perhaps most famously here: https://www.comuseum.com/painting/famous-chinese-paintings/wang-ximeng-one-thousand-li-of-rivers-and-mountains/#One%20Thousand%20Li%20of%20Rivers%20and%20Mountains)
