English: Xiao Zhao, A Tower on the Halfway of A Mountain, 12th century, NPM Taipei
o Buildings on a Mountainside 1. Hsiao Chao, Sung dynasty 2. Hanging scroll, 179.3×112.7cm On one side of a central precipice is Hsiao Chao's signature. Legend has it that Hsiao was once a bandit in the Taihang Mountains in the late Northern Sung until he tried to rob the fleeing court artist Li Tang, who taught him instead how to paint. Later, Hsiao entered the Southern Sung Painting Academy. The left side of this work is composed of a soaring precipice with many sharp and craggy rocks. From the central part of the mountain form extends a rocky outcropping, upon which stand two figures talking with each other and appearing to be looking out and admiring the beautiful scenery on the distant banks. This work has already begun to depart from the monumental majesty of Northern Sung landscape paintings, being more similar to the style found in Li Tang's Wind in Pines Among a Myriad Valleys, which presents scenes up-close and focuses on the details and richness of forms. With the solid rocks and misty distant mountains, the beautiful scene effectively contrasts substance and void. |
