Winter Landscape, Yeoseol, 1500s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Korean Art

This wintry vista is a vivid example of idealistic monumental painting: the strong contrasts of ink washes and contouring brush lines; the bold outlining of rock shapes and tree trunks; and the many short, twisting brushstrokes which build up the surfaces of the rocks. Much of the painting’s appeal can be attributed to the dynamic lines and contrasting tonal patterns that lead the viewer’s eye from the lower foreground toward the cold mountain peaks in the distance. In the corner is the artist’s seal, “Yeoseol,” which means snow-like. Size: Image: 92.4 x 52.7 cm (36 3/8 x 20 ¾ in.); Overall: 195.6 x 74.9 cm (77 x 29 ½ in.) Medium: hanging scroll; ink and slight color on silk

Connoisseurship, art cataloguing, art historical study, and elegant social gatherings developed alongside art collecting as part of the Chinese literati culture. Size: Overall: 4 x 7.5 cm (1 9/16 x 2 15/16 in.) Medium: porcelain with famille rose overglaze enamel decoration

Album of Miscellaneous Subjects, Leaf 5, Fan Qi, 1600s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Chinese Art

Leaf 5 This leaf evokes Zuo Si's poetic line: I shake my robe atop the cliff of thousand ren. Zhou Yi's colophon reads: That stone path surrounded by streams- for whom was it created? Leaning on my staff, I walk and hum, arriving alone. As soon as I ascend to gaze at these mountains, my happiness increases, Every morning the moistening dew makes the green moss slippery. Size: Image: 12.6 x 17.3 cm (4 15/16 x 6 13/16 in.); Overall: 21 x 22 cm (8 1/4 x 8 11/16 in.) Medium: album leaf, ink and color on silk
