Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (Master Wuyong Scroll) - Main Painting 6
Huang Gongwang spent years perfecting this serene landscape of the Fuchun River, using delicate ink washes to create misty mountains that seem to float on water. The elegant calligraphy on the left is actually the artist's own note, explaining how he painted it over several years while carrying the scroll with him. But here's the wild part: in the 17th century, a collector loved it so much he ordered it burned as his funeral offering! A quick-thinking nephew snatched it from the flames, but the scroll was torn in two—this larger surviving piece is now a national treasure in Taipei.
