万壑松风

Wang Hui (1632–1717), one of the Four Wangs and founder of the Yushan School, was a preeminent landscape painter of the early Qing Dynasty. Pine Winds in Ten Thousand Valleys showcases his mastery in depicting grand natural scenery.

The painting features towering mountains, dense pine forests, winding streams, and mist‑shrouded valleys. The composition is majestic and layered, with vigorous brushwork and rich ink tones that vividly capture the whistling wind through pines and the profound tranquility of remote mountains.

By blending the monumental composition of Song landscape masters with the literati charm of Yuan painters, Wang Hui created a work full of vitality and poetic atmosphere. It represents his outstanding achievement in interpreting classic landscape themes.
