Clearing after Snow in a
Mountain Pass
T'ang Yin (A.D. 1470-1523)
Ming Dynasty
Ink and light color on silk.
Hanging scroll.
69.9 x 37.3cm
T'ang Yin was a native
of Wu, Kiangsu. His style
names were Tzu-wei and
Po-hu; his sobriquet was
Liu-ju. T'ang Yin was also
noted for his poetry and
calligraphy, and is included
as one of the Four Masters
of the Ming dynasty.
In this painting powerful
and cutting axe-cut strokes
model the mountains. Round
fluid strokes of the type used
in executing seal characters
delineate the trees. Careful
descriptive details have
further been added in the
figures and houses. During
the Hung-chih period (A.D.
1488-1506), T'ang Yin
traveled north. While this
scene may not depict an
actual site, it does capture
a northern atmosphere.
