Album of Landscape Paintings P05
Dong Qichang, a Ming Dynasty powerhouse who basically wrote the rulebook for Chinese landscape painting, gives us this serene ink wash scene. Notice how the mountains loom gently over the water and sparse trees? That's his signature 'Southern School' style—less about perfect realism and more about capturing the scholarly vibe and brushwork rhythm. He famously divided art history into Northern and Southern schools, putting himself firmly in the cool, expressive Southern camp. The speckles across the paper aren't part of the design, just the charming patina of age on this album leaf.
