石渠寶笈初編(養心殿),上冊,頁672&*故宮書畫錄(卷八),第四冊,頁92&*故宮書畫圖錄,第十冊,頁53-54&* 作者赫奕,一作赫頤,生死時年不詳,康熙間滿洲人。別號澹士。善畫山水,為王原祁弟子,但作品於師法外,尚能參考前人,不落時習。如本幅畫山石,主要採取「米家雲山」畫法,不用多皴,而以濃淡墨點重叠破染,是故積墨蒼鬱,筆蹤混化,特別能夠表現出那種空氣濕潤、雲氣氳氤中,峰巒渾厚,遠近景物分明的情致。&* In this painting Ho I has carefully followed the manner of the Sung dynasty artist Mi Fu in describing the mountains and rocks. He has used texture-strokes only sparingly, but has employed various tonalities of ink and repeated layers of dots to create a sense of surface texture, thus achieving an ample accumulation of ink. His brushstrokes are complex and represent especially well a moist, airy atmosphere. Ridges and peaks are massive and grand, and a sense of distant and near views is clearly transmitted. The painter Ho I was a Manchurian by birth; although the exact dates of his birth and death remain uncertain, he is known to have been active during the K’ang-hsi reign period (1662-1722). A disciple of Wang Yüan-ch’i, he excelled in painting landscapes. In addition to the works of his teacher, he also studied the works of former masters, yet he never adopted the mannerisms of his day.
