NOTE:
First seen in Dunhuang frescoes and Tang tombs, boundary drawings
(jiehua) are accurate depictions of architectural forms using a ruler.
While very few artists created boundary drawings during Song and
Yuan dynasties, they were revived by the Ming and Qing painters and
Yuan Yao was representative of this in the early Qing period.
Yuan painted Twelve Scenes of Pavilions in Yangzhou in his early
years. However, it was not until his retirement in Yangzhou that he
created Famous Scenery of Yangzhou, a set of four paintings now in
The Palace Museum collection in Beijing. Executed in 1764, Boating
along Blue Landscape was a late work by the artist. Yuan adopted the
style of Qiu Ying, using “iron lines” to depict the bridge. A sampan
was approaching, with the female passenger, sampan operator and
heron vividly rendered. The misty background contrasts with the
vibrant blue and green mountain range in the foreground, resulting
in a poetic scenery expressing the traditions of the Song and Yuan
landscapes.
