Horse by a Stream (Translation)
溪流駿馬圖 近現代 戈湘嵐 紙本設色 (Primary Title)
Ge Xianglan 戈湘嵐, Chinese, 1904 - 1964 (Artist)
Shanghai-based Ge Xianglan was a celebrated master known for
his horse paintings in southern China, often compared to Xu Beihong from the
north. Here, Ge depicted a dark brown horse standing in a large
stream. The color shading on the horse and the glow on the horizon reveal his
early training at the Shanghai Art College, where he studied Western paintings.
