Chinese landscape painting
Chinese landscape painting is a traditional art form that emphasizes the beauty of nature. It often features mountains, rivers, and trees, capturing the harmony between humans and the natural world. Artists use techniques like ink wash and brush strokes to create depth and texture, conveying emotions and philosophical ideas.
This style of painting dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and flourished during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD). Notable artists, such as Fan Kuan and Guo Xi, are celebrated for their contributions. These works often reflect Taoist and Buddhist beliefs, highlighting the importance of nature in Chinese culture.
