Appreciation of Lin Liang Phoenix Pictures in Ming Dynasty

This work is a combination of hooking and dyeing, full of layers and vigorous and bright. For example, when expressing rocks, bold, quick and chic pen and ink; When painting bamboo leaves, the neat, light and clever brushwork naturally reveals Liang Lin's mental state. But his freehand brushwork is not sloppy, and he doesn't want to be the same. For example, the description of the phoenix is accurate and accurate, and the shape is accurate, which skillfully captures its characteristics. Its roughness is simple, its release is restrained, and its power includes the performance of the work display. It can be said that it is both rigorous and unrestrained, and there are still statutes in indulgence. Therefore, this painting is different from the later freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting, and retains the traces of "institutional painting". This picture shows Lin Liang's self-consciousness, which bears the seal of one party and has no seal of identification.

Most of Lin Liang's works handed down from ancient times are flower-and-bird paintings, and the representative works include The Double Eagle Map, The Bird-watering Collection Map and The Lu Yan Map, which are now in the Palace Museum.
