{"product_id":"ren-yi-riding-through-cloudy-mountains-chinese-painting-art-print","title":"Ren Yi — Riding Through Cloudy Mountains | Chinese Painting Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rider in a pale robe sits on a dark horse as it climbs a winding ridge, and a companion in a broad woven hat follows on foot with a staff. Grey mountain slopes rise around the narrow path, brushed in loose wet strokes and heavy dark dots, while cloud fills the gaps between them. Touches of pale blue and pink are the only colour. Two inscriptions with red seals sit at the upper left and upper right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Palace Museum, Beijing, dates the scroll to the summer of 1886, when Ren Yi was living in Shanghai, and reads its inscribed couplet as a line from Li Bai's poem on seeing a friend off to Shu: mountains rise before the traveller's face and clouds gather at his horse's head. A second inscription presents the painting to a friend, Aiting. The museum counts it among the figure-and-landscape paintings of his mature years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: hanging scroll, ink and colour on paper, Qing dynasty, 1886; Palace Museum, Beijing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRen Yi (1840–1895), also known as Ren Bonian, was a painter of the Shanghai School. Born in Zhejiang, the son of a rice merchant, he settled in Shanghai, where he became one of the city's leading painters. His bird-and-flower paintings first followed the Song dynasty practice of rich colour within outlines, and his mature work turned to looser brushwork, ink washes and greater tonal variation. He is counted with Ren Xiong, Ren Xun and Ren Yu among the Four Rens. His work is held by the Art Institute of Chicago and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
