Liang Kai, Poet Strolling by a Marshy Bank
Google课堂Met curator Shi-yee Liu on illusory nature in Liang Kai’s Poet Strolling by a Marshy Bank, first half of the 13th century.
Liang Kai served as a painter-in-attendance at the Song Imperial Painting Academy in Hangzhou from about 1201 to 1204; he relinquished that prestigious position to live and paint at a Chan (Zen in Japanese) Buddhist temple. Like his best-known paintings, preserved mostly in Japanese collections, this small landscape conveys a spiritual intensity. Under the great cliff, in the stillness of the landscape, a solitary figure meditates on the illusory world before him.
