Description
This landscape painting by Wang Yi depicts towering cliffs and mountain peaks shrouded in mist, with trees that appear both hidden and visible, conveying a sense of vastness and mystery. The skillful use of ink wash painting creates layers of depth, making the interplay of light and shadow between the mountains and waters vivid and poetic, perfectly capturing the majestic scenery of nature. The inscription beside the painting, "Such mountain streams are yet untraveled; the sound of springs continues as the rain just stops. When will I wear my straw sandals to view the sea of clouds, reaching up to the very top of the red stairs?" reveals a longing to escape the clamor of the world and to explore nature. The verses express the painter's profound affection for the mountains and waters, desiring to personally experience the sound of mountain springs after the rain and the spectacle of the sea of clouds, ascending to the mountain's highest point. These poetic lines not only enhance the artistic atmosphere of the painting but also provoke deep reflection, conveying the painter's reverence for and yearning towards nature.
