Mountains of the Immortals, Chen Ruyan, 1279, Cleveland Museum of Art: Chinese ArtThis extraordinary painting reveals the intense desire by Yuan artists to capture and renew the flavor of past generations. The fantastic landscape is painted in the “blue and green” style associated with the Tang dynasty (618–907), a period of superb cultural achievement in China. Athough the intense mineral pigments have faded with the passage of time, the artist’s vision of an imaginary land remains intact for the modern viewer.Size: Image: 33.5 x 98 cm (13 3/16 x 38 9/16 in.); Overall: 35 cm (13 ¾ in.)Medium: handscroll, ink and color on silkhttps://clevelandart.org/art/1997.95 -- source link
