Reminiscence of Jinling, 1686
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Wang Gai is a captivating aerial view that takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 17th century China. This handscroll painting, created during the Qing dynasty, showcases the exquisite beauty and cultural heritage of Jinling in Jiangsu province. As we gaze upon this misty panorama, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details meticulously captured by Gai's ink and color on silk technique. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the sprawling cityscape with its rooftops adorned in vibrant fabrics and architectural marvels. The tranquil waters below reveal an array of boats gracefully gliding along the river. Sampan boats dotting the scene evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when water transport was an integral part of daily life in this bustling metropolis. The majestic mountains surrounding Jinling add depth and grandeur to this picturesque scenery. Their mist-covered peaks create an ethereal atmosphere that transports us into a realm where past meets present. Wang Gai's masterpiece not only serves as a visual feast but also acts as a window into history, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Chinese culture. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Gai's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both memory and emotion within one timeless image.
