Biography of Wang Xi
Il Prodigio della Dinastia Song del Nord
Wang Xi fu un pittore cinese attivo durante la dinastia Song del Nord. Un prodigio straordinario, fu allievo della scuola di pittura della corte imperiale. Il suo talento fu riconosciuto dall' Imperatore Huizong dei Song, che ne intuì il potenziale e decise di istruirlo personalmente. Durante la sua breve esistenza, creò la sua unica opera sopravvissuta, un lungo rotolo in stile blu-verde intitolato A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, che completò nell'anno 1113 all'età di soli 18 anni.
L'artista morì all'età di 23 anni. Il suo unico capolavoro, celebrato come un vertice dell' arte cinese, è oggi custodito nella collezione permanente del Palace Museum di Pechino.
