Landscape 1885

"Landscape" is a painting on a fan by Hu Yuan, a prominent Chinese painter of the 19th century. Created in 1885, this artwork depicts a traditional Chinese mountain landscape, showcasing the artist's mastery of ink and brushwork. The delicate details of the towering mountains, the graceful branches of a tree, and the use of negative space create a sense of tranquility and depth, typical of the *shanshui* genre. This fan painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, showcases the enduring appeal of traditional Chinese landscape art.
