Description

The Painting of Five Hundred Arhats, painted by Shen Zhou, can be regarded as a more exquisite work of the same period, no matter the complex character modeling or the changeable scenes. The picture is composed of "Buddha Saying", "Arhat Crossing the River", "Arhat Piloting the Mountain" and other fragments, which describes the story of 500 Arhat who are mature in Manjusri's teachings in the Buddhist scriptures and go to the hometown of Manjusri Bodhisattva Shewei to worship Manjusri. The overall scene of the painting is grand, the plot echoes, and the content is complete. Between the mountains and the vast sea, Arhat either listened to lectures or sat still; Either treading on water beasts or crossing the sea by raft, they depict Arhat's ascetic practices and show their boundless magic power. From the perspective of character design, there are thin and delicate elderly people, graceful and bony young people, as well as powerful and brave individuals, and kind and gentle individuals. Hundreds of Arhat have different faces, and their expressions are very personal, natural and lifelike; The texture of the wrinkles on the clothing is particularly strong. The Yunshan Creek, Shidong Boat Car, Flowers and Trees, and Rapids and Wide Waters demonstrate the painter's rich imagination, precise modeling ability, and high expressive power in various aspects of painting. This work by Shen Zhou fully demonstrates that he is worthy of the Four Great Painters of Ming Dynasty.
