Subject:Antique Chinese Silk Scroll Painting Needing Translation - Thanks!
Posted By: Gary Knudtzon Sun, Dec 15, 2019 IP: 2601:602:681:1290:8c

What looks like a very old Miniature Chinese Scroll Painting (scroll 27 inches and painting 13 x 9 Inches) - needing calligraphy and Red Seal Translation. Real Dark aging of the Silk and a few splits but strong image as you can see. artwork not bad but what I would call lower end but what fascinates me is the volume of Calligraphy and how fine it is like the Work has some importance to the Artist. Would like to know anything about this Piece! Thanks Again! Gary K

Signature,
千里 趙伯駒 - Qianli (Thousand li) Pseudonym -
Zhao Boju (Chao Po-chu)
Seal,
千里 - Qianli

Zhao Boju (1120 ?-1182 ?)
Painter during the early Southern Song Dynasty.
Inventor of the so called blue-green landscapes, thick colors with the predominance of blue and green tones. None of his work survive.
According to James Cahill "Thousands of works are attributed to Zhao Boju, or at least on which his name is written. But all of them are late copies or fake"
The text is an appraisal written in highly redundant style.

With regards,
I.Nagy

painting is 20th century imitation of a Southern Song scene, its signature is a false attribution to Zhao Boju. Not sure whether the calligraphy is from an older sutra or prose but is probably intended confer some antiquity on the painting.
