The Red Cliff
Wu Yuan-chih (fl. 12th
century)
Chin Dynasty
(A.D. 1115-1233)
Ink on paper. Handscroll.
50.8 x 136.4cm
Wu Yuan-chih received
his chin-shih degree during
the Ming-ch'ang period (A.D.
1190-1195). His style name
was Shan-fu. This painting
illustrates the famous prose-
poem by Su Tung-p'o. In his
depiction of the mountains
and swirling water, the artist
used a firm, wire-like line.
Originally the painting
was in the collection of
Hsiang Yuan-pien (A.D.
1525-1590), who attributed
it to Chu Jui of the Northern
Sung dynasty. Attached to
the scroll is a copy of
the poem written by Chao
Ping-wen. Reference to this
painting in the writings of
Yuan Hao-wen of the Chin
dynasty has shown that it
is the work of Wu Yuan-chih.
