LU ZHI (1496-1576) ATTR. - China, 16th c. - Meeting at Full Moon in Winter. Album Leaf, ink on paper. One seal of the artist: „Lu Shuping shi”. Two collectors’ seals on the mounting: “Yiwu xin shang”, “Pinshan caotang zhenshang”. On the corresponding colophon paper a calligraphy by Cai Yu (died 1541), signed “Yu”. One seal of the artist: “Linwu shanren”. - Old and important European private collection, assembled before 1930 and between 1950 and 1980An official with a servant at his side and a scholar meet in the night at full moon in a snowy landscape with bare trees. The painting is done with dry brush strokes in very light ink and looks almost like a drawing. Lu Zhi, style name Shuping, was one of the most famous painters in Suzhou. He was a student of Wen Zhengming (1470-1559) and a typical literati painter. A descendant of a wealthy family he declined to become an official and devoted his life to painting and calligraphy. In later years he retreated to the foot of the Zhixing Mountain where he lived in poverty with hundreds of kinds of flowers. He is mostly admired for his paintings of flowers but did also landscapes in a very elegant and dry literati style as is seen in this album leaf. Cai Yu, style name Linwu shanren, lived at the Dongting Lake near Suzhou and was a noted calligrapher in regular and cursive script with an elegant yet strong brush stroke. A handscroll with calligraphy by him dated 1523 is now kept in the Palace Museum in Peking. His vigorous calligraphic style fits perfectly to the sparse literati painting of Lu Zhi
