Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (Master Wuyong Scroll) - Beginning of the Scroll - A Corner of Fuchun
Bold, sweeping brushstrokes spell out 'A Corner of Fuchun' in dynamic running script, serving as the dramatic title page for a legendary masterpiece. The aged paper is speckled with time, bearing red collector seals that hint at centuries of admiration and ownership. This scroll introduces the 'Wuyong Master' version of Huang Gongwang's famous landscape, a painting so beloved that a 17th-century collector tried to burn it on his deathbed to take it to the afterlife. The rescue attempt split the masterpiece in two, making this surviving fragment a testament to artistic devotion and near-disaster.
