{"product_id":"song-of-the-lute-ding-yunpeng","title":"Song of the Lute - Ding Yunpeng","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Ming Dynasty ink and colour painting depicting a scene from the classic poem, Song of the Lute, by Ding Yunpeng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDing Yunpeng, a prominent figure of the late Ming Dynasty, produced this work reflecting the refined aesthetic of the period. The composition draws inspiration from the famous poem by Bai Juyi, which recounts a chance encounter between a government official and a lute player on the Xunyang River. Ding Yunpeng employs a delicate brushwork style, characteristic of his training in the Anhui school, to render the figures and the natural environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a quiet moment of musical performance. Two boats rest upon the water, their forms rendered with precise, thin lines. The figures within are captured in moments of contemplation and listening. On the shore, a horse grazes near a group of trees, providing a sense of scale and grounding the scene in a specific, observable reality. The use of colour is restrained, relying on soft tones that harmonise with the ink wash to create a sense of atmospheric depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDing Yunpeng was known for his ability to balance technical precision with a sense of narrative clarity. His work often features figures with distinct facial expressions and postures, suggesting a focus on human character within the broader context of the natural world. The pine trees, with their textured bark and layered needles, demonstrate the artist's attention to botanical detail, a common feature in his oeuvre. This print captures the subtle interplay between the human subjects and their surroundings, offering a glimpse into the scholarly pursuits and artistic sensibilities of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in China. The composition avoids excessive ornamentation, favouring a balanced arrangement that guides the viewer across the riverbank and towards the central musical exchange.\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\/willow-and-magpie-fachang-muqi\" 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;\"\u003eWillow and Magpie - Fachang Muqi — Fachang Muqi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-waving-surface-of-the-autumn-flood-ma-yuan\" 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;\"\u003eThe Waving Surface of the Autumn Flood - Ma Yuan — Ma Yuan\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ding Yunpeng","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58801826922831,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58801833607503,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58801833640271,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58801833673039,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58801833705807,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58801833738575,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58801833771343,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58801833804111,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58801833836879,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58801833869647,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58801833902415,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58801833935183,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Song-of-the-Lute_Poster_CompositorV1_1789617298135.jpg?v=1789617679","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/song-of-the-lute-ding-yunpeng","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
