Letter 1600 - 1632

"Letter" is a calligraphic work by Song Jue, a prominent Chinese artist of the Ming dynasty. The artwork, dated between 1600 and 1632, consists of a series of characters written in elegant black ink on a thin sheet of paper, showcasing Song Jue's masterful control of brushwork. The piece exemplifies the "caishu" style of calligraphy, known for its flowing, expressive strokes and emphasis on individual character formation. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Song Jue and the enduring beauty of Chinese calligraphy.
