{"product_id":"the-autumn-hunt-chen-juzhong","title":"The Autumn Hunt - Chen Juzhong","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Southern Song Dynasty court painting by Chen Juzhong, depicting an imperial hunting party across an expansive, minimalist plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChen Juzhong was a court painter during the Southern Song Dynasty, known for his depictions of nomadic life and equestrian subjects. This work, presented in the traditional fan-shaped format, captures a scene of imperial activity within a vast, open space. The composition relies on the use of negative space, a characteristic feature of Song period aesthetics, which allows the viewer to focus on the specific actions of the figures rather than a cluttered background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a group of riders and horses engaged in a hunt. To the left, a lone rider gallops across the terrain, while a larger group, including a figure sheltered by a parasol, occupies the lower right. The figures are rendered with precise, controlled brushwork, typical of the professional painters working for the imperial academy. The muted palette, dominated by earthy tones and subtle washes, reflects the atmospheric conditions of the plains. The silk support has aged to a soft, neutral hue, which unifies the various elements of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChen Juzhong specialised in these themes, often drawing upon the cultural exchanges between the Song court and northern nomadic groups. By focusing on the movement of the horses and the posture of the riders, the artist conveys a sense of energy and purpose. The work demonstrates the technical skill required to balance narrative detail with the expansive, minimalist style favoured by the literati and court circles of the time. This print captures the original silk texture and the delicate ink application, providing a clear view of the artist's draftsmanship.\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=\"\/sv\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" 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;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/crown-on-a-table-lacquer-tray-with-young-pine-and-fan-ryuryukyo-shinsai\" 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;\"\u003eCrown on a Table, Lacquer Tray with Young Pine and Fan - Ryūryūkyo Shinsai — Ryūryūkyo Shinsai\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chen Juzhong","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58787711844687,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58787720757583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58787720790351,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58787720823119,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58787720855887,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58787720888655,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58787720921423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58787720954191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58787720986959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58787721019727,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58787721052495,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58787721085263,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Autumn-Hunt_Poster_CompositorV1_1789465873978.jpg?v=1789466502","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/the-autumn-hunt-chen-juzhong","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
