Xiaoxiang Scroll - Colophon 2 - Dong Qichang
Think of this as the Ming Dynasty equivalent of a glowing review for a classic masterpiece. Although the metadata lists Dong Yuan as the artist, this specific scroll is actually a colophon (inscription) written by the later Ming Dynasty master Dong Qichang. He was obsessed with Dong Yuan's famous 'Xiao Xiang Tu' (Picture of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers), considering him the founding father of the Southern School of painting. The ink dances wildly across the page in cursive script, showing Dong Qichang's excitement as he records his thoughts. It’s like a 400-year-old blog post that helped cement a legend's reputation!
