Artwork Description
Soga Shōhaku was a Japanese painter of the Edo period who distinguished himself from his contemporaries by preferring the brush style of the Muromachi period. His painting "Chinese Scholar Contemplating a Waterfall" is an excellent example of this aesthetic, which was already passé 150 years before his birth.
A Masterpiece of East Asian Art
"Chinese Scholar Contemplating a Waterfall" is a masterpiece of East Asian art that draws on an archetypal motif in East Asian art first formulated by Song-dynasty painters in the tenth century. The painting depicts a mountain landscape, in which the human presence is but a minor aspect of the vastness of nature.
A Vision of Nature
The vision of nature in "Chinese Scholar Contemplating a Waterfall" is more foreboding than grand, and the minute humans seem more in peril than in harmony with their strangely animated environment. At the edge of a precipice in the left foreground, a gentleman sits contemplating a distant waterfall, unaware of the improbable danger that surrounds him.

The canvas that we use for your painting can be standard cotton, or linen that we recommend. Linen has better strength and resistance to decay. As linen is woven from the natural fibers of flax, the weave of the linen shows through the many layers of paint applied and produces a distinctive, natural and authentic look of an oil painting.
