The Rongxi Studio 1372

"The Rongxi Studio" is a hanging scroll painting by Ni Zan, a renowned Chinese painter of the Yuan dynasty, created in 1372. The painting depicts a tranquil landscape with distant hills, a quiet body of water, and a few trees in the foreground. Ni Zan's signature minimalist style, known as "mogu" (ink-bamboo), emphasizes spareness and subtle washes of ink. He evokes a sense of calm and solitude, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of nature.
