The works of Tang Bohu, a master painter of the Ming Dynasty, have certain characteristics, especially his landscape paintings are representative works of that era.
Admiring Tang Bohu's works, you can deeply feel the humanistic feelings of his landscapes. He integrates his humanistic feelings well into the landscapes and rivers, and the artistic conception he presents and the feelings expressed are different.
Borrowing from Shan Yanzhi, each of Tang Bohu's works is meticulous in brushwork, and the quaint painting style is also imitated by posterity. Because of his fame and the high price of his works in the market, his fakes are also very many.
Let's talk about a "Song Sound Map of Mountain Road" by the Ming Dynasty master Tang Bohu, which has both people and mountains and water in this work, which is very in line with the characteristics of Tang Bohu's works.
This songsheng map of the mountain road is now treasured in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and the estimated value of the entire work is as high as 230 million, and it is even rising. Looking closely at this work, it depicts a landscape map of man and nature, and there are almost no close-up views of the characters.
Throughout the passage, there are people on the ancient pines of the distant mountains and the people on the path in the mountains, but the strange mountains and stones in this painting have been constructed by Tang Bohu into a very artistic world. The painting is a rocky ravine, and it matches the feeling of a waterfall flowing through the spring. The layering of the whole vista is divided into several parts, the farthest cloud and mist strange mountain, plus the pine on the mountainside of the close-up view.
The lush feeling of ancient pine, combined with the old stem of the branches, the strange stone with the ancient pine, brings this realistic landscape painting style of the Tang Dynasty to everyone. In addition, a flat lake has been formed under the mountain, which gives people a clear and beautiful scenery under the water of the small bay.
Next to the whole mountain is a rugged wild road, winding to the mountain stream, so that the painting of this son highlights how strong Tang Bohu's painting skills are, the wild road is equipped with strange stones, the distant mountains with ancient pines, and the simple collocation increases the depth of the whole picture.
On the small wooden bridge below the mountainside, a hermit is looking out over the mountain, and it is against the parapet on the bridge. This echoes the theme of the whole painting: he is listening to the pine wind, and there is an accompanying waiter, and the subsequent feeling of the nangqin highlights the protagonist's unusualness.
I have to say that Tang Bohu has integrated humanistic feelings into the works very well, especially this sense of interlacing between man and nature, which has improved the artistic conception of the entire work too much. It's not all about painting rocks, but interspersing the figures with them, and the whole painting is wonderful.
