Artistic Features of "Jade Tiger Spring Color Map"

Jin Nong's paintings and calligraphy are all very individual. Zhu Mei, pommel horse, Buddha statue, figures and landscapes are all good at painting. The painting style of Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics is mostly known for being wild and arrogant, while Jin Nong, with his rich cultivation, created a meaningful and clumsy painting style with the meaning of painting stones. Although he began to paint formally at the age of 50, his strong academic upbringing made him write exceptionally well. People call him "an ancient painter who got rid of his painting habits", as evidenced by "Jade Pot Spring Color Map". This painting was painted in the twenty-sixth year of Qianlong, and the painter is 75 years old. This is a meticulous work in his later years. This painting is silk, color, length 13 1 cm, width 42 cm, and it is a relatively large work. Plum, pine and bamboo, also known as "three friends of the old and the cold", are symbols of noble character, and often become the painting themes of literati and painters, and also one of the favorite themes of Jin Nong. In order to create his own artistic style of plum blossom, he devoted himself to studying the plum blossom of the Eight Eccentric Kings. He thinks that Wang is both complex and simple, so he has created his own plum blossom image between "not sparse and not complicated".
