Dwelling in the Fu-ch'un
Mountains
Huang Kung-wang (A.D.
1268-1354)
Yuan Dynasty
Ink on paper. Handscroll.
33.0 x 639.9cm
Huang Kung-wang was
a native of Fu-yang ,
Chekiang and one of the
four great landscape
artists of the Yuan period.
This picture is part of a
long handscroll describing
the beauty and many
delights of the Fu-ch'un
Mountains in scenic
Chekiang. In his inscription,
the artist tells us that
after having laid out the
entire design in one burst
of creation, unconscious
of fatigue, he worked on the
picture whenever the mood
was right during the years
from 1347 to 1350, when the
major portions of the work
were completed. He painted
it for a Taoist friend named
Wu-yung.
