Washing the Feet (from the Dusty World), Wen Boren — Washing the Feet (from the Dusty World), 1570

Wen Boren

1502–1575 · Chinese painting: Ming · 3 works

Wen Boren brings poetry and scholarly retreat into landscapes of rivers, villages and mountains. A quiet view may also carry a story: a musical encounter, a farewell or a scholar washing his feet. The scale of the small figures encourages a slow search through the larger setting.
