{"product_id":"landscape-after-a-poem-by-wang-wei-tang-di","title":"Landscape after a poem by Wang Wei - Tang Di","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Yuan Dynasty ink painting by Tang Di, depicting a serene, atmospheric mountain scene inspired by the poetry of Wang Wei.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTang Di, a painter active during the Yuan Dynasty, produced this work in 1338. The composition draws inspiration from the poetic imagery of Wang Wei, a Tang Dynasty poet and painter known for his synthesis of verse and visual art. The work follows the shan shui tradition, which translates to mountain and water, focusing on the atmospheric qualities of the natural world rather than precise topographical accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foreground features gnarled, leafless trees that anchor the composition, their branches rendered with calligraphic precision. A small figure sits quietly near the water, providing a sense of scale and human presence within the vast, misty environment. The middle ground dissolves into soft, horizontal bands of water and fog, creating a sense of distance and quietude. In the background, distant peaks emerge from the haze, their forms suggested through subtle ink washes rather than hard outlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTang Di utilised a restrained palette, relying on variations of ink tone to define form and space. The silk support has aged to a warm, muted tone, which complements the monochromatic application of ink. This piece reflects the literati ideal of the period, where the act of painting served as a form of personal expression and philosophical contemplation. The artist captures a specific mood, one of solitude and reflection, consistent with the themes often found in the poetry of Wang Wei. The work is a representative example of the Yuan period interest in reviving earlier styles while maintaining a focus on individual brushwork and atmospheric depth.\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=\"\/products\/chinese-scholar-contemplating-a-waterfall-soga-shohaku\" 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;\"\u003eChinese Scholar Contemplating a Waterfall - Soga Shōhaku — Soga Shōhaku\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/in-meditation-at-the-foot-of-the-mountains-shitao\" 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;\"\u003eIn Meditation, at the Foot of the Mountains - Shitao — Shitao\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tang Di","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58904312512847,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58905272877391,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58905272910159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58905272942927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58905272975695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58905273008463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58905273041231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58905273073999,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58905273106767,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58905273139535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58905273172303,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58905273205071,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landscape-after-a-poem-by-Wang-Wei_Poster_CompositorV1_1790597690228.jpg?v=1790602196","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/landscape-after-a-poem-by-wang-wei-tang-di","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
