{"product_id":"fisherman-wu-zhen","title":"Fisherman - Wu Zhen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene ink-on-silk composition by Yuan Dynasty master Wu Zhen, depicting a solitary fisherman in a quiet river setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWu Zhen, a member of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty, produced this work during a period when scholar-officials often retreated from public life to focus on personal cultivation. The composition features a solitary boat navigating a quiet river, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and sparse vegetation. The artist employs a restrained ink palette, using varying degrees of wash to suggest depth and atmospheric perspective. The foreground contains a small dwelling and trees, rendered with deliberate, calligraphic brushwork that defines the texture of the terrain and foliage.\n\nThe upper section of the silk scroll includes a poem written by the artist, which integrates text and image into a unified aesthetic experience. This practice is characteristic of the literati tradition, where the painter expresses philosophical detachment through the depiction of reclusive life. The absence of heavy colour allows the viewer to focus on the quality of the ink strokes and the balance of negative space. The scene conveys a sense of stillness, reflecting the artist's interest in the quietude of nature rather than the bustle of urban existence. By focusing on the fisherman, a common motif in Chinese art, Wu Zhen explores themes of solitude and the humble life of those who live in harmony with the natural world. The work remains a primary example of the Yuan style, which prioritised individual expression and technical mastery of the brush over decorative detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wu Zhen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58043539390799,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58043539620175,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58043539652943,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58043539685711,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58043539718479,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fisherman_Poster_CompositorV1_1782357489535.jpg?v=1782357661","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/fisherman-wu-zhen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
