Ink Dragon Scroll, Height 34.3x50cm
Chen Rong, a 13th-century Song Dynasty master, was legendary for painting dragons while slightly tipsy! He would splash ink onto the surface, letting the chaotic blobs guide his brush to create mythical beasts bursting through stormy clouds. This scroll captures that raw energy, with a powerful dragon twisting through dark, swirling mists, its body barely visible in the shadows. The columns of calligraphy on the right likely sing praises of this creature, reflecting a style so prized that Japanese collectors historically treated his works as national treasures.
