Shorter columns of smaller characters close the text at left, ending in the signature. The paper is pale grey-white, framed by a narrow silk mount. The poem thanks the Jiajing emperor for a gift of embroidered silk bestowed for Wen's service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: hanging scroll, ink on paper, Ming dynasty, c. 1525; The Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWen Zhengming (1470–1559), born Wen Bi near Suzhou, was a Chinese painter, calligrapher and poet of the Ming dynasty. He began studying painting with Shen Zhou in 1489, and only at 53 was he appointed to the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, leaving after three years for Suzhou. There he became, with Shen Zhou, the leading figure of the Wu school of scholar-painters, working in manners from the finely detailed to the freely washed, and writing in all four major calligraphic scripts. He painted and wrote poems on the Humble Administrator's Garden, built by his friend Wang Xianchen, including an album of 1551. His pupils included his son Wen Jia. 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.
