ZHANG LU. Studying a Painting

Studying a Painting. Artist: Zhang Lu (Chinese, ca. 1490-ca. 1563). Culture: China. Dimensions: Image: 58 5/8 x 38 7/8 in. (148.9 x 98.7 cm)
Overall with mounting: 103 x 42 1/8 in. (261.6 x 107 cm)
Overall with knobs: 103 x 46 1/4 in. (261.6 x 117.5 cm). Date: 16th century.
Zhang Lu was an aristocrat born into a wealthy family and educated with princes of the imperial family. He attained great success as a professional painter but lived very simply, almost as a hermit. He began his study of painting by emulating the leading court painter, Wang E (act. ca. 1490-after 1541), but quickly turned from the academy to other models and masters, most notably Wu Wei (1459-1508).  This painting parodies the theme of the literary gathering. A group of rustics congregates around a hanging scroll as a man seated on a stone table holds forth on its virtues. A woman seated at her loom cranes her neck for a better view, a fisherman skeptically strokes his whiskers, a child darts underneath the scroll for a closer look, and the barefoot man unrolling the scroll squints critically at the image--a hawk pursuing a rabbit--which is a well-known composition by Zhang Lu himself.
