Landscape on paper 32x21 P07 by Dong Qichang

This energetic page of cursive calligraphy reads like a Ming Dynasty art review, discussing the lineage of great painters like Dong Yuan and Ni Zan. These are the very masters Dong Qichang championed in his famous 'Northern and Southern School' theory, which shaped Chinese art for centuries. The bold red splotches overlaying the text aren't part of the original writing—they’re large collector seals stamped by proud owners over the years, turning the page into a historical graffiti wall of art appreciation.
