{"product_id":"landscape-ink-play-fang-congyi","title":"Landscape Ink-Play - Fang Congyi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Yuan Dynasty ink wash painting by Fang Congyi, featuring misty mountain peaks and a solitary boat in a serene, atmospheric composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFang Congyi was a Daoist priest and painter active during the Yuan Dynasty. His work often reflects the unconventional spirit associated with the literati tradition. This piece, titled Landscape Ink-Play, demonstrates his mastery of ink wash techniques. The composition relies on the interplay between solid forms and empty space, a hallmark of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central mountain peaks emerge from a wash of mist, rendered with varying degrees of ink saturation. The artist uses dry brush strokes to define the craggy textures of the rock faces, while softer, wetter applications suggest the atmospheric depth of the surrounding clouds. A small boat occupies the lower centre, providing a sense of scale against the imposing natural forms. The foreground includes subtle details of vegetation and a small structure, grounding the ethereal scene in a recognisable, albeit stylised, reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFang Congyi is known for his expressive, sometimes eccentric, approach to traditional subjects. Unlike the more rigid academic styles of earlier periods, his brushwork appears spontaneous and fluid. The ink tones remain muted, relying on subtle shifts in grey and charcoal to create volume and distance. The presence of seals and calligraphy in the upper right corner indicates the work's history as a scholar's object, intended for quiet contemplation. This print captures the texture of the original paper and the delicate tonal transitions of the ink, offering a clear view of the artist's technique. It is a representative example of the Yuan literati aesthetic, where the focus lies on the internal state of the artist as much as the external subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/azure-cliff-with-red-maples-wu-bin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAzure Cliff with Red Maples - Wu Bin — Wu Bin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/landscape-two-panel-folding-screen-watanabe-shiko\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape (Two-Panel Folding Screen) - Watanabe Shikō — Watanabe Shikō\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fang Congyi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58786166636879,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58786169815375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58786169848143,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58786169880911,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58786169913679,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58786169946447,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58786169979215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58786170011983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58786170044751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58786170077519,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58786170110287,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58786170143055,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landscape-Ink-Play_Poster_CompositorV1_1789440150239.jpg?v=1789441056","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/landscape-ink-play-fang-congyi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
