Five Great Scenes of Risevne
The Five Great Scenes of Risevne (Mirselec Bo te Matgaroge), also known as the five classic scenes, refer to five natural scenes on the islands which are famous for their natural beauty, as well as their representation in classical Risevan art.
The five places are:
- Varulsekaya, or Hunter's Gorge, formed by the Rushalya river in Ofalna Province
- Mantebara Waterfall, formed by the Adterge river in Besurgana Province
- Sasabac'horma (Mount Sosabac) and Gaikreta'horma (Mount Gaikreta), in Atastarne Province
- Agero ta Kasuren (Cliffs of Agero), on Noma Island in Bifeno Province
The five great scenes each have their own specialties, which are seen as embodiments of certain skills in painting; for example the Varulsekaya represents "Strong Flows and Deep Silences", in terms of the flow of the river through the narrow gorge as well as the silence of the gorge and of the river below the gorge, while the two mountains represent "Implication of the Form"; since they are nearly identical, their relative placement in paintings is seen as a matter of depicting what surrounds them, an expression of the attention to detail in Risevan art.
