Wang Family, Edward Elliott Family Collection, Purchase, The Dillon Fund Gift, 1982 Accession Number 1982.2.3 Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/asian_... and A twelfth-century couplet inscribed on the wall of a tavern characterized the lives of the fisherman and the scholar-official: Right and wrong reach not where men fish; Glory and disgrace dog the official riding his horse. To painters living in the tumultuous days of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the theme of the fisherman symbolized a perfect escape from their strife-torn world. Wang Fu, a fellow townsman of Ni Zan (1306-1374), returned to Wuxi in 1401, after twenty years of exile at the desolate northern outpost of Datong, Shanxi Province; like Ni Zan, he had been a wanderer in his native land. In this long scroll Wang echoes Wu Zhen’s (1280-1354) treatment of the fisherman theme. Poised between descriptive realism and calligraphic abstraction, Wang’s painting exemplifies the Ming- and Qing- dynasty scholar-artists’ practice of expressing themselves through the brush idioms of the Song and Yuan masters.
