"Pair Of Chinese Paintings On Silk – Literati Landscapes “mountains And Clouds” – China, 20th Century "
An elegant pair of traditional Chinese paintings, executed in ink and colors on silk, depicting misty mountain landscapes in the grand tradition of Shan Shui (山水 – “mountains and waters”). Conceived as pendants, the two compositions harmoniously complement each other: rugged reliefs, stylized pines, an isolated pavilion, and blankets of mist create a poetic and meditative atmosphere, characteristic of Chinese literati painting. Each work is accompanied by original calligraphy and the artist's red seals, attesting to an authentic work executed according to the classical codes of Chinese art. The inscriptions can be translated as: “Blue Mountains, White Clouds” and “The Spirit of the Mountain, Clouds, and Moon.” These intentionally complementary titles reinforce the visual and spiritual dialogue between the two paintings. Hand-painted works, not prints, on silk, likely dating from the 20th century. The paintings are presented in beautiful wooden frames, framed and glazed, ready to hang. Each framed work: 37 x 32.5 cm. Condition: Good overall condition. Minor signs of age and natural rippling of the silk, consistent with age and technique. Sold exclusively as a pair.
