Skriv inn ønsket bredde og høyde for å tilpasse trykket til din ramme eller vegg. Et trykk kan kun beskjæres, aldri skaleres opp utover motivets opprinnelige størrelse, noe som betyr at et format med andre proporsjoner vil føre til tap av deler av bildet. Vi sender deg en digital mockup for godkjenning før vi starter trykkeprosessen. Bildet som vises på denne siden viser ikke den faktiske beskjæringen — det er kun mockuppen som viser dette.

Identification of Old Trees, Level Distance
Old Trees, Level Distance is a handscroll created by the artist Guo Xi. This work dates to about 1080 and originated during the Northern Song dynasty. The piece is executed using ink and color on silk, a medium that allows for subtle tonal shifts across the surface of the scroll.
The painting is currently held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is identified by the Chinese title 郭熙《樹色平遠圖》卷. This specific object is categorized under the classification of paintings within the museum's Asian Art department.
Composition and Visual Elements
Towering trees dominate the foreground of the composition. These trees possess a silhouette appearance, their dark forms etched against the lighter background. Below these prominent trunks and branches, a river valley occupies the lower portion of the scene. The valley is partially obscured by mist, which settles between the landforms and the water.
Two elderly figures are visible within the landscape. One person is located near the left side of the painting, while the other person is situated more towards the center. These figures are positioned near a pavilion nestled among the trees. The color palette relies on muted tones of brown, grey, and ochre to define the textures of the bark, leaves, and atmospheric fog.
Technical Mastery and Perspective
Guo Xi employs the "floating perspective" method to establish a sense of depth within the landscape. This approach moves away from traditional linear perspective, instead utilizing layered ink washes to build the illusion of distance. Through these successive layers, the artist creates a sense of atmospheric space that allows the eye to move through the misty mountain valleys. Subtle tonal variations are applied to model the surfaces of the terrain, defining the contours of the mountains and the shapes of the trees.
The color palette is restricted to muted browns, greys, and ochres. These specific tones define the textures of the bark on the foreground trees and the appearance of the leaves. The ink washes also capture the quality of the mist, which partially obscures the river valley below. Every brushstroke is applied with precision to render the specific textures of the natural elements, from the coarse surface of the wood to the ephemeral nature of the fog.
Legacy and Artistic Influence
The influence of Guo Xi extended through subsequent generations of painters. His technical developments provided a foundation for later artists, including Ma Yuan and Xia Gui, who refined the specific methods of perspective and ink application established during the Northern Song dynasty. These later practitioners built upon the visual language of landscape construction that Guo Xi helped define.
The artist’s theoretical contributions are preserved in his treatise, The Lofty Message of Forest and Streams. This text provides a formal basis for the aesthetic and philosophical principles found in his paintings. Through this writing and his visual output, his work functions as a record of the capacity of Chinese landscape art to communicate complex ideas and the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Om kunstneren
Early Life and Education
Guo Xi (郭熙), born around 1020 in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China, emerged from a family steeped in Confucian scholarship—a tradition that profoundly shaped his artistic sensibilities. His father was a respected official, fostering an environment where intellectual pursuits were valued alongside moral virtue. Guo Xi’s education encompassed classical studies and calligraphy, equipping him with the foundational knowledge necessary for mastering both art and literature. These formative years instilled within him a deep appreciation for harmony—a concept central to Song Dynasty aesthetics—and a meticulous attention to detail that would become hallmarks of his distinctive artistic style.The Rise of Landscape Painting
Guo Xi’s contribution to Chinese art is inextricably linked to the burgeoning landscape painting movement of the Northern Song dynasty. Unlike preceding styles which often prioritized stylized representations, Guo Xi championed a revolutionary approach—the “angle of totality,” or “floating perspective”—that sought to capture the illusion of depth and atmosphere with unprecedented realism. This technique involved layering ink washes to create subtle gradations of tone and texture, mimicking the way light interacts with mountainous terrain.Innovative Techniques and ‘Floating Perspective’
Guo Xi's breakthrough came with his pioneering exploration of “floating perspective.” Rather than depicting objects as viewed from a single vantage point, he skillfully manipulated brushstrokes to convey multiple viewpoints simultaneously. This audacious innovation challenged conventional artistic conventions and established Guo Xi as a visionary figure who anticipated developments in Western art centuries later.Notable Works: ‘Early Spring’ and Beyond
Perhaps Guo Xi's most celebrated masterpiece is “Early Spring” (春景), completed around 1072. This monumental painting exemplifies his mastery of “floating perspective,” transporting the viewer into a breathtaking vista of snow-capped peaks and verdant valleys.Legacy and Influence
Guo Xi’s influence extended far beyond his own lifetime, inspiring generations of artists who followed him. His meticulous brushwork and profound understanding of landscape aesthetics became foundational principles for subsequent painters—particularly Ma Yuan and Xia Gui—who further refined the “floating perspective” technique.His treatise, “The Lofty Message of Forest and Streams”（林泉高致）， solidified his position as a leading voice on artistic philosophy. Guo Xi’s work continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a testament to the enduring power of Chinese landscape art and its contribution to the broader history of visual culture.
