Chinese landscape painting was regarded as the
highest form of Chinese painting, it focuses on depicting mountains,
rivers, valleys, forests etc, often with a bird-eye view to diminish the
subject matter as some miniature. With Taoist idea of "unity of heaven and
man", traditionally well-educated Chinese people find great enjoyment in
appreciating and depicting landscape.
The time from the Five Dynasties period to
the Northern Song period (907–1127) is known as the "Great age of Chinese
landscape". In the north, artists such as Jing Hao, Li Cheng, Fan Kuan,
and Guo Xi painted
pictures of towering mountains, using strong black lines, ink wash, and sharp,
dotted brushstrokes to suggest rough stone. In the south, Dong Yuan, Juran,
and other artists painted the rolling hills and rivers of their native
countryside in peaceful scenes done with softer, rubbed brushwork. These two
kinds of scenes and techniques became the classical styles of Chinese landscape
painting.
