Description
This is one of the twelve pages from the album titled "Flowers of Prosperity" created by Mr. Li Hongzhao. This painting exquisitely captures magnolia blossoms using the ink painting technique. The style is fresh, with light ink outlining the petals and orange-red embellishments on the stamens, displaying the flower's elegance and intricacy, and showcasing the natural beauty and vitality of the magnolia. The inscription quotes a poem by Wen Tong from the Song Dynasty: "Shadows fall on empty steps as the early moon chills, fragrance rises in the separate courtyard with the evening breeze slight." This not only adds a poetic and narrative quality to the painting but also expresses a subtle sense of longing and separation. The verse describes the tranquil beauty of magnolia blossoms under moonlight and evening breezes, perfectly complementing the theme of the painting. This artwork is not only an artistic capture of natural beauty but also a modern interpretation of classical poetic emotions, suitable for art lovers and collectors who appreciate and collect Chinese ink paintings. 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.
