Framed Print of Hall of Lofty Pines, 1703. Creator: Wang Hui (Chinese, 1632-1717)
Hall of Lofty Pines, 1703. Wang Hui, a leading painter in the orthodox school of the early Qing dynasty (1644-1911), was commissioned to paint this landscape with a country estate for Li Duna (1628-1703), vice minister of justice in Emperor Kangxis court. The emperor had honored Li by granting him a piece of calligraphy with the name of Lis retirement retreat, Hall of Lofty Pines. He drew a comparison between pines and Lis upright character, resilience, and longevity. Wang Huis painting was supposed to allow Li to imagine living in a beautiful, secluded compound among the hills and pines. Sadly, Li died before seeing the completed painting and before receiving the emperors permission to retire. The landscape begins with peaceful riverbanks and low hills. The pines around the estate in the middle of the handscroll are truly lofty, some stretching even beyond the frame of the painting. Li Duna, the estates owner, is shown twice in his serene mountain retreat: first approaching the entrance to the compound with two servants at the right, and then later in the scroll, to the left, reading in the comfort of an inner room.
