Landscape for Zhanting 1710

This 18th-century landscape painting by Wang Yuanqi titled *Landscape for Zhanting* depicts a sweeping view of a mountainous region. The piece, created in 1710, showcases the artist's mastery of the *shanshui* (mountain-water) style, emphasizing the natural world's harmony and beauty. The composition features delicate brushstrokes and washes of ink and color, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective, and the artist has thoughtfully included inscriptions along the top of the painting to express his artistic intent. This intricate artwork, now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the Qing Dynasty's artistic achievements.
