Landscape Album (Nine-leaf version) P6
In this album leaf, Ming dynasty master Dong Qichang pays a visual tribute to the Song dynasty painter Mi Fu, whose 'cloud and mountain' style is famous for its misty, wet ink washes. The right side shows a dreamy landscape where mountains fade into the fog, surrounding a quiet cottage nestled among trees—a perfect example of the 'literati' aesthetic Dong championed. On the left, his fluid calligraphy acts as a critique, discussing Mi Fu's technique and how he captured the 'marvelous realm' of the Xiao and Xiang rivers. It’s a beautiful dialogue between two giants of art history, separated by centuries but connected by ink.
