Description
This is one of the twelve pages from the album titled "Flowers of Prosperity" created by Mr. Li Hongzhao. In this painting, the hydrangeas are depicted with subtle colors and fine brushwork, creating an ethereal beauty that feels both fresh and transcendent. The petals of the hydrangea are layered intricately, giving them a transparent quality that is both realistic and poetic. The inscription cites a verse by the Qing Dynasty literary figure Li Yu: "The ingenuity of nature culminates with the bloom of a single hydrangea," expressing admiration for the refined beauty of nature. It suggests that the beauty of the hydrangea is a natural masterpiece, reflecting the artist's profound understanding and appreciation of natural beauty. This set of album pages can be collected individually or as a complete set of twelve pages. If purchased as a whole, the twelve paintings will be housed in a hard case with a cover title.
