Landscape painting from Shanxi captures boating on autumn stream

Crisp autumn skies, a gentle breeze and drifting along a quiet stream – doesn't this painting capture the season perfectly? This artwork by Lan Ying (1585-1664) depicts a lone figure sailing through mountains and waters. With rich composition, elegant brushwork and vibrant colors, it conveys both the grandeur of nature and the serenity of solitude. Today, it is part of the collection of the Shanxi Museum.
