Ku I-te was the nephew of Ku Cheng-i founder of the Hua-t'ing school of painting and teacher of the great literatus Tung Ch'i-ch'ang. All three were advocates of Yuan (14th century) style ink painting and Tung's own colophon appears at the end of this painting. Ku's own colophon describes the occasion of the scroll being painted: In the summer during the sixth month of Wu-shen year (1608) I visited Chin-ling (present-day Nanking) and stayed in the I-ch'ang Shang-Kuan. It happened that I was able to obtain some Sung dynasty paper and (so I painted this) following the style of Sung-hsueh weng's (Chao Meng-fu's 1254-1322) Tieh-Chang-t'u (Misty River and Layered Peaks), spending a month to finish it. It is a pity I cannot reach his level of accomplishment. Ku I-te |
