At the ongoing exhibition of the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, indulge in the artistic achievements of the 17th-century master Zhu Da (also known as Bada Shanren, 1626-1705) and his profound influence on later ink-wash art. With sparse brushstrokes and poetic blank space, his paintings offer a sense of quiet reflection, spiritual comfort, and cultural nourishment.
