Nine Dragons Scroll - Painting Core 6
Legend has it that Chen Rong would get thoroughly drunk before painting dragons, splashing ink and using his hat or even his beard to create the initial shapes before refining them with a brush. This dynamic section from his famous 'Nine Dragons' scroll captures a mythical beast battling through turbulent, swirling waves rendered in masterful ink wash. Created during the Southern Song Dynasty, the scroll is a prime example of how Chinese artists captured the spiritual energy of nature. You can find this masterpiece today at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
