Beside the bridge a large boat with its crew on deck works its mast down, while moored houseboats line the far bank and tiled roofs fill the foreground. The whole scene is drawn in fine ink line on warm brown silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handscroll, over five metres long, follows city life along a river and is generally presumed to be by Zhang Zeduan; an inscription dated 1186 names him. Where the bridge crosses the river is the centre and focus of the scroll. The Qing court commissioned a much-expanded version, presented to the Qianlong emperor in 1737 and now in Taipei, and the Song scroll remains in the Palace Museum in Beijing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: handscroll, ink and colour on silk, Northern Song dynasty, 12th century; The Palace Museum, Beijing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZhang Zeduan was a Chinese painter of the Song dynasty, active in the early twelfth century; little is known of him beyond a record of 1186 that calls him a Hanlin academician skilled in ruled-line painting of boats, carts, markets, bridges and streets. The great handscroll Along the River During the Qingming Festival, whose crowded Rainbow Bridge is its centre, is traditionally attributed to him. The Song original is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, and the scroll was widely copied, by Zhao Mengfu, Qiu Ying and Qing court painters among others.\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.
