石渠寶笈初編(養心殿),上冊,頁674&*故宮書畫錄(卷八),第四冊,頁96&*故宮書畫圖錄,第十冊,頁371-372&*王原祁(西元一六四二─一七一五年),江蘇太倉人。字茂京,號麓臺,王時敏之孫。畫由家學,遠邁時倫,為清四大家之一。 岡巒起伏,雲嵐繞山,分流曲澗,江村錯落。本幅構景繁而不亂,布局細而不碎。章法精妙,虛實相發,層次分明,結構嚴謹。畫山畫樹,狀似草草,而筆墨精練,實從錘鍊中出也。&* Wang Yűan-ch’i, a native of Kiangsu province, was the grandson of the famed painter Wang Shih-min. Following in the family style of painting, his achievement surpassed that of his contemporaries. He is one of the Four Great Masters of the Ch’ing. Depicted here are mountain peaks encircled with clouds and mist, a running stream, and scattered villages. The composition is complex yet organized and the details, likewise, are intricate yet ordered. The artist’s arrangement of the surface is exquisite in terms of the complementary forms and spaces. The layering of forms is clear and the structuring solid. Though mountains and trees appear casually rendered, the mature brushwork comes from Wang’s years of disciplined practice.
