Artist Wang Shimin created landscape paintings in response to the poetry of Du Fu during the Qing Dynasty.

It is custom for Chinese artists to embellish their work with calligraphy inscriptions such as this 14th century piece by Ni Zan.

This 20th century painting pays tribute to Bada Shanren, painter and calligrapher in the early Qing period.

Landscape featuring Wang Wei's poetry. The inscription reads: "Midway through life I set my heart on truth, And I have come to spend my days in the southern hills where I walk alone, to where the streams rise and sit watching the clouds drift in the sky."
