Bamboo and Trees Enveloped in Cold Mist, from an album of 12 leaves, 1723 (ink & colour on paper)
6124983 Bamboo and Trees Enveloped in Cold Mist, from an album of 12 leaves, 1723 (ink & colour on paper) by Jin Yongxi (fl.1695-1723); 54.6x39.5 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Jin Yongxi, a literati painter from Suzhou, was a pupil of the orthodox master Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715). Each leaf of this exceptionally large album is inspired by a past master of the Song (960-1279) or Yuan (1280-1368) literati tradition. Jin has inscribed the name of the artist that inspired each of his compositions. Although Jins paintings vary considerably from their sources, they do capture the essential style associated with the famous painters he emulates. While working in Beijing, Jin apparently had access to the imperial collection which accounts for his broad and accurate knowledge of historical styles of painting. The Qinglai pavilion in which the artist painted this album likely belonged go the literatus, Gao Shiqi (1645-1703), a high official and secretary to the emperor. A major collector, Gao may in fact have commissioned the album.); Photo: © Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; Gift of Ruth and Bruce Dayton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bamboo and Trees Enveloped in Cold Mist" transports viewers to a serene world of nature's beauty. Created by Jin Yongxi, a talented literati painter from Suzhou, this artwork is part of an album consisting of 12 leaves dating back to 1723. Measuring at 54.6x39.5 cm, the ink and color on paper composition showcases Jin's mastery in capturing the essence of past masters from the Song and Yuan literati tradition. Each leaf pays homage to a different artist, with Jin inscribing their names alongside his own interpretations. Jin's paintings exhibit remarkable variation while still embodying the distinctive style associated with his revered predecessors. It is believed that during his time in Beijing, Jin had access to the imperial collection, which greatly influenced his broad and accurate knowledge of historical painting styles. The Qinglai pavilion depicted in this particular album was likely owned by Gao Shiqi (1645-1703), a high-ranking official and secretary to the emperor known for his passion for collecting art. It is even speculated that Gao may have commissioned this very album. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene enveloped in cold mist, we are reminded of nature's ability to inspire awe and tranquility. This print serves as a testament not only to Jin Yongxi's artistic prowess but also to the enduring power of traditional Chinese painting techniques throughout history.
