The Theme of Mt. Fuchun
Most we have been looking at in traditional Chinese landscape painting of the 17th century onward can be regarded as working out of stylistic implications in landscape s by Huang Gongwang (1269-1354), a truly innovative landscape painter of the Yuan dynasty. In his masterwork, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (1347-1350), Huang was the most decisively altered the course of landscape painting, creating models that would have a profound effect on landscapes of later century.
Lotus Wind and Shady Bridge follows the manner of Huang Gongwang in both composition and brushwork. This painting depicts an imaginative space at the foot of a range of mountain ridges, aiming at making the viewer feel as though he were in the actual place. The river, bridge, and a lonely traveler on the bridge create a sense of spacial continuity from the foreground to the background. The dark clumps of trees and lower hills marking stage in the picture contribute to the deeper recession leading the viewer to the upward mountain ridges in the far distant mist.
