Absolutely Brilliant . Do not rush through this one. This is a very celebrated painting from China . People stand in line for hours at the Shanghai Museum to view it. It was reportedly painted between 1085-1145 during the the Dynasty of the North Song. It was repainted during the Qing Dynasty. It measures 5meters wide

and 24.8 cm tall. It is considered one of the Great Treasures of China and was exhibited at the Hong-Kong Museum of Art last year.

You can easily view this beautiful Chinese painting by copy and paste on the site. You can view it and control the speed with your mouse by reversing the direction of the arrow. You also need to click on the 3 boxes within the painting. Take your time. When a box appears, double click on it and enjoy the clip.

wonder how long it would have taken to finish .....:think:

just remember a p.j.

an amateur artist was asked by a reporter "so how did your first painting exhibition go . what was the response ? "

artist -- " well , half of the people said its a complete waste of paint . "

reporter -- " and what did the other half say ? "

artist -- " and the other half said , its a complete waste of paper !! "
