It was thought the Chinese were the first to develop this art form. The Daoists of ancient China would create works of natural scenery. These scenes usually contained mountains, rivers, trees, valleys, forests and animals. In Asian landscape paintings, the weather in the scene holds special significance. Some artists would paint bright, sunny scenes. Others would include heavy overcast clouds while many of the Daoist paintings included heavy mist over the mountains. It is accurate to say that the weather in the scene completely sets the mood for the piece. The Chinese ink painting style called "shan shui", which literally translates into "mountain-water" often featured landscapes with perhaps one human sage far in the background. In their landscape art, the Chinese often depicted people as being very small in the scene, as compared to Western landscape art. This shows the reverence and respect the Chinese have for nature. Down through the years Chinese art has evolved but many works of Chinese art today still look like those works from hundreds of years ago. This is probably because their ancient art form was so endearing and loved. This wall fan, although not Chinese, carries the essence of their art with its natural subject. This gorgeous Oriental wall fan will make a fine addition to your bedroom, living room or den. Hang this spectacular fan in your home to really boost the beauty of your decor.
