Album of Landscape Paintings P01
Dong Qichang, a giant of Ming Dynasty art theory, pairs his signature misty mountains with elegant cursive calligraphy referencing the earlier painter Fang Congyi. The landscape floats in a sea of white space, using wet ink washes to create distant peaks and foreground trees that feel almost dreamlike. He was the scholar who famously categorized Chinese painting into 'Northern' and 'Southern' schools, championing this expressive, literati style over rigid realism. The red seals scattered across the pages act like little stamps of approval from collectors who have admired this piece over the centuries.
