明 文徵明: 古木寒泉圖
Wen Cheng-ming: Old Trees by a Cold Stream
文徵明（1470－1559），長洲人。初名璧，字徵明，後以字行，又字徵仲，號衡山、停雲生。畫師沈周，使吳派文人畫大成於世。是幅為文徵明八十高齡所畫之傑作，絹本設色，粗筆長幅，構圖之奇，用筆之神，在文徵明晚年畫中實屬罕見。

Wen Cheng-ming (1470-1559) was a native of Ch'ang-chou (Soochow). His original name was Pi and his style name was Cheng-ming, by which he became known later, and thus he assumed another style name Cheng-chung. His sobriquets were Heng-shan and T'ing-yun-sheng. He studied painting under Shen Chou and brought the Wu school literati painting to its perfection. This piece, produced when he was eighty, is a rare example among Wen Cheng-ming's works that is depicted in rough brushwork on a large silk artwork plane.
