Biography of Wang Xi
Das Wunderkind der Nördlichen Song-Dynastie
Wang Xi war ein chinesischer Maler, der während der Nördlichen Song-Dynastie seine künstlerische Blüte erlebte. Als außergewöhnliches Wunderkind wurde er Schüler der kaiserlichen Malerschule. Sein immenses Talent wurde bereits früh von Kaiser Huizong der Song-Dynastie erkannt, der sein Potenzial sah und ihn persönlich unterrichtete. In seinem kurzen, aber intensiven Leben schuf er sein einziges erhaltenes Werk: eine prachtvolle blau-grüne Schriftrolle mit dem Titel Tausend Li Flüsse und Berge, die er im Jahr 1113 im Alter von nur 18 Jahren vollendete.
Der Künstler verstarb bereits im Alter von 23 Jahren. Sein einzigartiges Meisterwerk, das heute als ein unerreichtes Juwel der chinesischen Kunst gefeiert wird, befindet sich heute in der ständigen Sammlung des Palastmuseum in Peking.
