Blue and Green Landscape
(China )
A painter in the court of the emperor in the 1424-35 period, Shih Jui liked to work in the blue-and-green manner developed centuries earlier. This is a landscape in which every leaf is defined, mountains are regularly stepped, and scholars converse in precisely delineated pavilions.
