Fishermen-Hermits in Stream and Mountain is a 1304 unspecified by Zhao Yong, a ming_painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
Two men fish from small boats on a wide, swirling river. Mountains rise in the distance, and the water fills most of the scene. This painting is quiet—no storms, no shouts. The Yuan dynasty ruled China then, and scholar-officials like Zhao Yong often painted scenes like this to show a life away from court. The boats look like floating huts, almost part of the river itself. If you like this calm, look up *china, yuan dynasty (1271-1368)*.
