Landscape Album (Seven-leaf version) P7
Dong Qichang, a Ming Dynasty giant who basically invented the rules for Chinese art history, is showing off his skills here. The calligraphy tells us he's 'imitating' the style of the great master Huang Gongwang, creating a dreamy landscape of towering peaks and twisted pines. See those soft, wavy lines on the mountains? Those are 'hemp-fiber strokes,' a hallmark of the Southern School of painting that Dong championed. It’s like a 17th-century cover song—respecting the original while adding his own scholarly flair.
