The Pleasures of Fishes - A Glimpse into Aquatic Delights
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an ancient masterpiece, "The Pleasures of Fishes" created by Zhou Dongqing in 1291 during the Yuan dynasty. The handscroll, ink and color on paper, takes us back to a time when artistry celebrated the wonders of aquatic life. In this close-up portrait, we witness the artist's intricate calligraphy skillfully intertwined with images of fish swimming gracefully through water. The letterbox format allows for a panoramic view that immerses us in their world. Dongqing's artwork invites contemplation about our understanding of fish enjoyment. As he once questioned, "You are not I, so how do you know I don't know what fish enjoy?". This thought-provoking concept challenges our assumptions about animal pleasure and reminds us to approach nature with humility. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this thirteenth-century treasure serves as a testament to China's rich cultural heritage. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries and continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon this monochromatic image filled with minnows darting playfully amidst delicate strokes of ink, we can't help but feel a sense of wonder at the interconnectedness between humans and wildlife. Dongqing's legacy lives on through his evocative portrayal of aquatic delights—a reminder that true pleasure lies in appreciating the natural world around us.
