文伯仁 WEN PO-ZEN / WEN BOREN
Est: Kč150,000 - Kč300,000
文伯仁 WEN PO-ZEN / WEN BOREN (1502-1575). also signed with his alias 五峯 Wu-feng / Wufeng. 竹深荷净 Ču šen che ťing / Zhu shen he jing /In the depth of bamboos and silence of lotuses/. In summer, the 6th month of the year sin-we / xinwei period Long-čching / Longqing (i.e. about July 1571- Ming Dynasty). Horizontal scroll, ink drawing and aquarelle on paper, Author of the title signs is Tung S´-tcheng / Dong Sicheng 董嗣成 (1560-1595). Author's authenticity added to the picture is written in the clerical writ lishu: 竹深留客处，荷净纳凉时。/In the depth of bamboos, a place where comer may find a refuge // Silence of lotuses in the time when they keep coolness / It is a verse from a poem by famous Tchang named 杜甫Tu Fu / Du Fu (712-770). This poem was also an inspiration to a famous painting created by one of the most notable painters of Jüan Dynasty (1279-1368) Tchao Meng-fu / Zhao Mengfu 赵孟頫 (1254-1322). In this case it is more a loose translation of a given topic - bamboos around the river and scholars under simple canopies hiding under the summer heat. In the Chinese tradition this is a popular theme for painting for many generations until this time. Also typical is the usage of the double verse that originally inspired even the famous Tchao Meng-fu, who is perceived as a father of the tradition of literature painters. This is a summer literary theme that continues to inspire the new interpretations. L. 710 cm. Condition A. 文伯仁 WEN PO-ZHEN / WEN BOREN (1502-1575). unterschrieben mit dem Spitznamen 五峯 Wu-feng / Wufeng. 竹深荷净 Zhu schen che ting / Zhu shen he jing / In der Tiefe der Bambusse und Stille der Lotusblüten/. Im Sommer, im 6. Monat des Jahres Sin-we / xinwei Ära Long-Tching / Longqing (d.h. Juli 1571- Dynastie Ming). Horizontale Buchrolle, Tuschezeichnung und Aquarell auf Papier. Autor der Titelseite: Tung S´-Tcheng / Dong Sicheng 董嗣成 (1560-1595). Zuschrift des Autors (Beamtenschrift Lishu): 竹深留客处，荷净纳凉时。/In der Tiefe der Bambusse, wo man Zuflucht finden kann //Die Stille der Lotusblüten in der Zeit, wann sie die Kühle erhalten / Es handelt sich um ein Vers aus dem Gedicht des berühmten Thang-Dichters 杜甫Tu Fu / Du Fu (712-770). Ein berühmtes Bild mit gleichem Motiv wurde von einem der berühmtesten Malern der Dynastie Jüan (1279-1368) Zhao Mengfu 赵孟頫 (1254-1322) geschaffen. Im unseren Fall handelt es sich um eine freie Variation auf das Thema - Bambusse in einer Flussumgebung, die Gelehrte in einfachen Häusern schützen sich vor der Hitze. In der chinesischen Maltradition handelt es sich um ein für Jahrhunderte beliebtes Thema. Typisch ist auch das Tchang Distichon, das ursprünglich auch dem Zhao Meng-fuo als Sujet diente. Zhao Meng-fuo gilt heute als der Geistliche Vater der späteren literarischen Maler. Das Motiv seines Werkes mit literarischem Sommerthema wurde dann weiter überliefert. L. 710 cm. Zustand A. 文伯仁 WEN PO-ŽEN / WEN BOREN (1502-1575). podepsán ještě přezdívkou 五峯 Wu-feng / Wufeng. 竹深荷净 Ču šen che ťing / Zhu shen he jing /V hloubi bambusů a tichu lotosů/. V létě v 6. měsíci roku sin-we / xinwei éry Long-čching / Longqing (tj. cca červenec 1571- Dynastie Ming). Horizontální svitek, malba tuší a akvarelem na papíře. Autorem titulního nápisu je Tung S´-čcheng / Dong Sicheng 董嗣成 (1560-1595). Autorský přípis připojený k obrazu (v úřednickém písmu lishu): 深留客处，荷净纳凉时。/V hloubi bambusů, místo, kde může návštěvník najít útočiště // Ticho lotosů, v čase kdy udržují chlad / Jedná se o verš z básně slavného tchangského básníka jménem杜甫Tu Fu / Du Fu (712-770). Slavný obraz na toto téma namaloval jeden z nejvýznamnějších malířů dynastie Jüan (1279-1368) Čao Meng-fu / Zhao Mengfu 赵孟頫 (1254-1322) V našem případě se jedná spíš o volné pojednání daného tématu - bambusy v okolí řeky, učenci v jednoduchých přístřešcích, kteří se tam ukrývají před letním vedrem. V čínské malířské tradici se jedná o oblíbené téma po mnoho generací až do současnosti. Typické je také tchangské dvojverší, které původně posloužilo jako námět i samotnému Čao Meng-fuovi, který je chápán jako duchovní otec pozdějších literátských malířů. Jako námět díla s letní literátskou tematikou se pak téma traduje dál. D. 710 cm. Stav A.
