Tang Yin's "Farewell at the Bridge of the Hanging Rainbow" (1508) is a classic example of the literati style of Chinese painting. This delicate handscroll depicts a serene landscape of mountains, trees, a bridge, and a small boat. The artist's masterful use of ink washes and brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, emphasizing the tranquility of the scene. The inscription and numerous red seals on the right edge further enhance the work's artistic and historical significance. This masterpiece, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Tang Yin's refined aesthetic and his keen observation of nature.
