1659
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Mountain Village Embraced by the Summer is a 1659 unspecified by Wang Shimin, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a misty mountain scene with a winding path and tiny buildings tucked into the hills. Trees cling to the slopes, and a waterfall cuts through the center. The whole scene is in shades of gray and white, with a few dark lines for contrast. The artist used loose, sketchy brushstrokes to suggest depth and movement in the landscape. It feels alive, even though it’s all in black and white. Look up *Baroque* next to see how this style played with drama and light.
