Description:
Mountains and rivers emerge from clouds, the scenery is clear yet there is an elegant air. The mountain peaks rise in layers up to the heavens. In painting mountains and trees, Dong Qichang first uses pale ink followed by layers of horizontal dian, or moss dots, to add visual richness. Dong Qichang once wrote, "The marvelousness of painters is entirely located in the changed of mists and clouds." Shunning attempts at representing the natural world, he emphasizes the importance of the ingenuity of brushwork. This painting aptly illustrates the phrase, "clouds and mists on paper." In the history of painting, Dong Qichang praises Dong Yuan, Juran, and Mi Fu. In this painting, Dong Qichang has used the antique style of Mi style landscapes for inspiration, and then created a distinct style of awkward elegance.
