Landscape after the Four Wangs, Winter 1840, Okada Hankō, Japanese, 1782 - 1846, 51 1/8 × 70 1/2 in. ( × cm) (image)80 1/4 × 72 in. ( × cm) (mount), Ink on paper, Japan, 19th century, Okada Hankō’s monumental work is a tour de force in the spirit of the Four Wangs, a circle of conservative Chinese painters who created stylized interpretations of classic works. This painting follows orthodox principles of composition—the foreground, middle-ground, and background are distinct yet well-integrated—maintaining order in this otherwise fantastical, complex setting
