笪重光 草書五律《初夏園林即事》| Da Chongguang, Poem in Cursive Script
This fan leaf by Da Chongguang features a five-line regulated poem titled "Immediate Impressions of an Early Summer Garden," rendered in flowing cursive script across gold paper. The combination of ink and gold ground creates a luminous surface that enhances the dynamic energy of the brushwork characteristic of late Ming and early Qing literati painting. As both a calligrapher and painter, Da Chongguang exemplified the scholar artist tradition, where poetic composition and skilled brushwork were inseparable artistic practices.
