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.
Recluse in Mount Fuchun follows the manner of Huang Gongwang in both composition and brushwork. This painting shows an attempt to describe the vigorous mountain ridges associated with the ideal of solitude. The river, bridge, and a lonely traveler on the bridge emphasize the peacefulness of a recluse life at the foot of Mount Fuchun. The imposing mountains, its dark clumps of trees and heavy shading along the mountain body creat a sense of security and traquility - an ideal scholarly recticence.
