Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (Master Wuyong Scroll) - Colophon 3 - Wen Peng by Huang Gongwang

Think of this as a 16th-century review written directly onto a masterpiece. This image shows a colophon (inscription) by the famous calligrapher Wen Peng, added to Huang Gongwang's legendary 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' scroll. The elegant, flowing cursive script on the right praises the original painting, while the smaller text on the left—added by collector Wang Zhideng in 1571—records another moment of appreciation. These inscriptions turn the scroll into a historical timeline, showing how generations of scholars cherished and debated this iconic landscape.
