Landscapes with the Chinese Literati Su Shi and Tao Qian. Artist: Nagasawa Rosetsu (Japanese, 1754-1799). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image (each screen): 67 3/8 in. x 12 ft. 2 3/4 in. (171.1 x 372.7 cm). Date: 1795-99.The forbidding, grotto-pierced precipice at left suggests a site on the Yangzi River where the Chinese poet Su Shi (Dongpo, 1037-1101) composed his famous "Ode on the Red Cliff." The gentler scene at the right, centering on a scholar with young attendants in a hut within a willow grove, is meant to depict the Chinese poet-recluse Tao Qian (Tao Yuanming, 365-472) in his country retreat. The artist seems to have set up an explicit contrast between the two scenes: Su's forced exile (wild) against Tao's self-imposed exile (calm). Rosetsu developed such an idiosyncratic style that he became known as one of the "Three Eccentrics" (the other two being Ito Jakuchu and Soga Shohaku). He is renowned for his bravura handling of line and wash, as seen in these screens. Museum: Met
