Framed Print of Old Trees by a Wintry Brook, 1551. Creator: Wen Zhengming (Chinese, 1470-1559)
Old Trees by a Wintry Brook, 1551. Wen Zhengming was one of the most celebrated calligraphers and painters during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). His inscription, gracefully written in small characters on the upper left corner, reveals Wens emotional mood at that moment of creation. In the fifteenth day of the fifth month, the year of xinhai [1551], [I], Zhengming, playfully write this Old Trees by a Wintry Brook at eighty-two [sui]. How should we understand a wintery landscape painted in the middle of spring? Was it simply inspired by a surprisingly late spring snow? Or can it be that the wintery brook reflects the octogenarians feelings about aging and his inevitable, approaching mortality? The junipers gnarled forms are a poignant symbol of aging and suffering, yet the ink-dot leaves on some branches suggest that the trees are still alive, awaiting the warmth of spring.
