Dragon pine 1390 - 1410

This hanging scroll, "Dragon Pine," was painted by Wu Boli during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and is a beautiful example of Chinese ink and wash painting. It depicts a twisted, gnarled pine tree, its branches reaching towards the sky. The artist's masterful use of ink creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the beauty of the natural world. This work is a testament to Wu Boli's artistic skill and his ability to portray nature with both precision and emotion. The scroll is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
