Poem by Wang Wei 1632 - 1636

"Poem by Wang Wei" is a hanging scroll by Dong Qichang, a renowned Chinese artist and calligrapher. Created between 1632-1636, it is a masterful example of *caishu*, a style of calligraphy that emphasizes the artist's personal expression and the beauty of the written word. The work features cursive characters, flowing across the paper with an elegant, unhurried rhythm, reflecting the subtle emotional undertones of the poem. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Poem by Wang Wei" provides a glimpse into the sophisticated world of Chinese art and calligraphy.
