简介
Introduction:
李昭道是李思训之子，生活于盛唐唐玄宗时代，史称小李将军。他在画山水楼阁上，设色用笔学习父亲风格，但又有所变化。
Li Zhaodao, son of Li Sixun, lived in Emperor Ming-huang's period, Tang Dynasty, generally referred to as General Little Li. He followed the ink and colors style of his father, with certain personal features, in his landscape painting.
此图表现安史之乱时，唐明皇避难入蜀的故事。画面色彩明丽，无皴擦用笔，画法古朴，有人认为是宋代摹本。此图与上图《江帆楼阁图》均为青绿设色，反映了唐代山水画的典型特征。
The painting depicts the story when Emperor Ming-huang fled the capital and sought refuge in Szechuan during the An Lushan Rebellion. This painting is brightly colored, and its brushwork is of primitive simplicity without wrinkled strokes. Some scholars believe this is a faithful copy of an original by a Song Dynasty artist. Similar to Sailing Boats and a Riverside Mansion, this painting is in green shade, reflecting the typical features of Tang Dynasty landscape paintings.
