Did You Know?

Fang Congyi was a painter and a Daoist priest.

Description

The painter created a paradoxical juxtaposition of the boat serenely sailing against the turbulent onrushing movement of the towering mountains in the background.
A vertical hanging scroll with ink and color on beige paper depicts dark, textured mountain peaks shrouded in thick mist. Below, a small boat floats within an expansive void. Dark clusters of brushstrokes form trees and a bridge along the bottom edge. Vertical columns of Chinese calligraphy and red seals feature in the upper right, with additional seals in the lower left corner.
