The Stone Bridge 1661

"The Stone Bridge" (1661) by Zhang Feng is a masterful example of Chinese ink wash painting. The piece, a hanging scroll, depicts a serene landscape with a flowing stream cascading over a series of rocks. The artist's use of subtle washes of ink creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, inviting viewers to contemplate the natural world. Feng was a prolific artist who specialized in landscape painting, and his work is known for its elegant composition and delicate brushwork. This piece, now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, demonstrates Feng's exceptional ability to capture the beauty of the natural world with a refined and evocative style.
