A long white waterfall drops down a cliff at the left into a pool that winds through the foreground. Pines and vine-hung trees with reddish foliage grow from a rocky bank in the foreground, and at their foot a small figure in a pale robe stands looking out. A long inscription fills the upper right, a shorter one the upper left, with red seals down both edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShen Zhou painted this hanging scroll in 1467 to celebrate the seventieth birthday of his teacher, Chen Kuan, using the height of Mount Lu as a figure for his teacher's character. For it he set aside his usual manner and adopted the layered dry brushwork of the Yuan painter Wang Meng. The scroll, nearly two metres tall, is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: hanging scroll, ink and light colour on paper, 1467; National Palace Museum, Taipei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShen Zhou (1427–1509) was a Chinese painter, poet and calligrapher of the Ming dynasty, born into a wealthy landowning family at Xiangcheng near Suzhou. He never sat the civil-service examinations, choosing to stay at home and care for his widowed mother, and spent a long life in poetry, painting and calligraphy. He studied the styles of earlier painters, above all the Yuan-dynasty scholar-painters, and painted landscapes, flowers, fruit and birds, including an album of Twelve Views of Tiger Hill near Suzhou. He was the leading figure of the Wu school of scholar-painters, and his pupils included Wen Zhengming. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago.\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.
