Chapter 567 - 567 564 Strange Painting

?Chapter 567: Chapter 564: Strange Painting Chapter 567: Chapter 564: Strange Painting Hong Si placed a tray on the stage, within which were two scrolls of paintings. He slowly unrolled the “Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” scroll and lifted it up so that everyone present could clearly see it.

Wang Ximeng was a master painter, and although he died young, leaving behind few works, the “Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” is indeed a rare authentic piece.

The painting method Wang Ximeng used combined the “pima” (hemp-fiber) texture strokes with the “fupi” (axe-cut) wrinkling technique to delicately express the underlying structure and light-and-shadow variations of rocks, just like this “Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” before our eyes. With its richly detailed scenery and myriad atmospheric effects, the composition seeks change within density, achieving a coherent momentum that truly reflects painstaking craftsmanship.

Whether in terms of layout, artistic conception, or the precision of the brushwork, the “Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” on stage captures the essence of Wang Ximeng’s work remarkably well. However, anyone with even a slight understanding of ancient court paintings could tell that this piece is a forgery.

Not to mention whether Hong Si could obtain the original, the painting silk used in this scroll is problematic in itself.

The true “Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains” was painted on a scroll made from a kind of Mi Family Silk produced by the Mi family in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, which is a fabric of uniform and dense quality, exclusively used by Imperial Court painters.

But the silk used in this painting in front of us is clearly of inferior quality.
