Chinese Paintings, vertical scroll painting
We can find two types of Chinese paintings: Paint on vertical roll and on horizontal roll. Chinese painting has many functions : it can be religious (Paintings of Buddha, paintings of goddess ...) or poetic ( the painting becomes an illustration of a poem, "Chinese Landscape").
The classical Chinese painting is defined by its philosophical dimension, we find:
- Shanshui landscapes "landscape montage-water" is a painting that evokes the literary, and the natural landscape. In this type of paint there are always calligraphic inscriptions.
- Landscapes made of Bamboos (ink on rice paper)
- Portraits of Chinese ancestors
- Animal Portraits (Portraits of horses, buffalo ...)
- The Paintings of characters (representing scenes of everyday life)
- The Religious Paintings representing Bodhisattva
The calligraphy brushes are very important in those paintings, it is a very sophisticated tool.
