清, 王翬, 溪山雨霽圖, 軸, Clearing after Rain over Streams and Mountains, Qing dynasty (1644–1911), dated 1662, China, Hanging scroll; ink on paper, Image: 44 7/8 x 17 7/8 in. (114 x cm), Paintings, Wang Hui (Chinese, 1632–1717), Freely adapting elements traditionally associated with Juran (act. ca. 960–85)—conical mountains defined by 'hemp-fiber' texture strokes and topped by dense groves or clusters of boulders interspersed with foliage dots—and mixing them with the 'cloudy mountains' imagery of Mi Youren (1074–1151), Wang has dematerialized the tenth-century master's substantial forms by paring down motifs, flattening forms into calligraphic patterns, and using subtly graded ink washes to evoke a serene landscape cloaked in clouds and mist
