Landschap c. 1500 - 1700

"Landschap" is a hanging scroll painting by the Japanese artist Shubun, created sometime between 1500 and 1700. It depicts a landscape scene with a towering rock formation and a single tree. Shubun is known for his mastery of ink wash painting, a technique evident in this artwork. The scroll exemplifies the minimalist approach of Japanese ink painting, emphasizing the natural world in a delicate and understated manner. Its size suggests it was intended for a private setting, reflecting the appreciation for contemplative beauty and the tranquility of nature in Japanese art.
