Description
Pictures of seasonal plants, flowers and delicate insects were a popular subject for Chinese artists from the Song (960–1279) through the Ming (1368–1661) dynasties. Korean painters active around the same time created similar works. While some of the most famous plant and insect paintings are associated with the eminent Song and Yuan painters Zhao Chang (ca. 959–ca. 1016) and Qian Xuan (ca. 1239–ca. 1301), anonymous professional artists accounted for most of these beautiful works of art. Spadecaller presents his portrayal of the natural world in this image, “Red Alstromeria and Grasshopper.” This is a hand-painted and mixed media digital image created in Spadecaller’s Florida studio.
