This fan painting by Hu Yuan, titled "Landscape," is a beautiful example of Chinese landscape art. The artwork, created between 1823 and 1886, showcases a serene mountainous scene with delicate brushstrokes. The artist's use of ink wash creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, while the subtle details of the trees and rocks convey a feeling of tranquility. The fan format, a popular medium for Chinese artists, highlights the artist's skill and the beauty of the natural world. "Landscape" is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
