Appreciation of oil paintings of five strong men in Langya Mountain

The author skillfully captures the moments before the heroic sacrifice of five revolutionary martyrs, and deeply depicts the heroic spirit of the characters. Through the comparison of the modeling and symbolic significance between man and mountain, the heroic spirit of the characters is combined with the modeling of the peaks, and the characters and the peaks overlap to express the characters.

In the unified momentum, the movements and eyes of different characters are subtly changing. The tall figures of the five figures blend with the steep mountain peaks as the background, which is higher than the mountain peaks and more eye-catching in the background. The group image presents a stable mountain structure, uneven outline and strong sense of rhythm.

The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain is an oil painting created by contemporary painter Zhan Jianjun in 1959, and is now collected in China National Museum.
