Nostalgic walk 1707

"Nostalgic Walk" is a painting by the influential Chinese artist Shitao, created in 1707, the year of his death. The painting depicts two figures, one standing and the other holding a scroll, standing before a towering mountain, in the style of literati painting, common during the Qing Dynasty. The subject matter is reminiscent of classical Chinese poetry, with the figures appearing to be poets or scholars engaging in a conversation. Shitao's work, known for its bold brushstrokes and atmospheric rendering of nature, offers a glimpse into the emotional connection between humans and the natural world.
