1304
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Plum Blossoms in Moonlight is a 1304 unspecified by Yan Hui, a Ming Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a few bare branches with small white flowers. The background is a plain, light brown color. The lines are simple and quick—just enough to show the shape of the branches and buds. The artist left big empty spaces around the branches. This makes the flowers stand out more. The painting looks like it was done fast, almost like a quick sketch. If you like this style, check out Yan Hui (Chinese, active 1270–1310) for more work like this.
Yan Hui (simplified Chinese: 颜辉; traditional Chinese: 顏輝; pinyin: Yán Huī; Wade–Giles: Yen Hui); was a late 13th-century Chinese painter who lived during the Southern Song and early Yuan dynasties.
