Struggling with the scorching summer heat? Escape into the refreshing world of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) painter Tang Yin (1470-1524, also known as Tang Bohu).
Tang’s Watching the Spring and Listening to the Wind depicts a serene scene with rugged peaks, ancient trees casting deep shadows, cool breezes and cascading mountain springs. Two gentlemen sit by the stream, watching the water and listening to the wind.
While the ancients used such scenes to express a longing for a reclusive life, we can also find the healing power of nature within them, bringing us a moment of calm and coolness in the summer heat. Collection: Nanjing Museum.
