Mingwen Zhengming Jiaoyin Lady Picture".
Wen Zhengming, one of the four great painters of the Ming Dynasty, rarely used the theme of ladies in his paintings. Known for his literati paintings, he was rigorous, slightly introverted, and rarely portrayed women directly. However, his "Banana Yin Lady" is an exception.
Although the subject matter is the human figure, the overall style of the picture still maintains the characteristics of literati painting, integrating poetry and books into the painting, expressing emotions and aspirations through natural elements such as landscapes, flowers and birds.
Nestled by the sunset in the west. It is the first foot of the evening on the pond. Look at the rocky shore of Taihu Lake. The rain has passed. Clusters of plantains. The courtyard is deep. The curtain is quiet. Draw a loop. Suddenly, the sound of the jade flute started. The moon is full of people. The wind is about light gauze through the meat. A new bath with tassels. A piece of style. Cowardly. Panicked and cold. Youth League fan. I want to lift and hang. A few flutters. The night is alone. It's also desolate. Self-extinguishing silver screen candles. Right tune water dragon chanting.
The delicate wording and subtle sentence of this poem directly above the picture make the whole painting vivid, as if it is alive and fragrant. At the beginning of the sunny day after the rain, a young woman stood quietly, holding a Youth League fan, silently staring into the distance. She was speechless, but she told the world the loneliness of her heart with the deepest silence. This sense of loneliness spreads like ripples, filling every corner of the painting, allowing the viewer to deeply feel the inner world of the painter and interpreting the essence of literati painting to the fullest.
At the time of this painting, Wen Zhengming was 70 years old. The death or departure of his friends made it impossible for him to escape the loneliness in his heart. And this indescribable emotion is reflected in the image of the lady in the painting.
This sad little girl is not only the person in the painting, but also the spiritual sustenance and emotional writing of the painter. Through her, Wen Zhengming integrated his own state of mind into his paintings, making "The Lady of Jiaoyin" a precious work among his surviving paintings.
