Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (Master Wuyong Scroll) - Painting Core 1
Imagine a landscape so breathtaking that a collector tried to burn it to take it into the afterlife! This is the 'Master Wuyong' scroll of Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains by Yuan dynasty master Huang Gongwang. Painted in elegant ink wash, it winds through misty mountains and serene riverbanks, capturing the essence of the Fuchun River over several years. The drama doesn't end there: in 1650, the owner ordered it burned on his deathbed, and his nephew had to snatch it from the fire, tearing it into two pieces. This larger, surviving section is now a prized treasure in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, while the scorched front piece rests in a museum in Zhejiang.
