xiang ying hong is a 1780 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a cluster of bright red flowers with green leaves growing from a small patch of moss. The flowers have five petals and some buds just starting to open. A thin stream of water trickles over smooth rocks at the bottom, with a pale blue-green background. The artist focused on the flowers’ delicate details, like the tiny hairs on the buds. The painting looks like it was made to celebrate nature’s small, quiet beauty. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
