Lan Ying’s “Landscape in the Style of Ancient Masters: after Fang Congyi (active c. 1340-80)” (possibly 1368-1644) depicts a mountain range with a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff. The delicate brushstrokes and muted colors of the painting are characteristic of the *shanshui* (mountain-water) genre of Chinese painting, which emphasizes the beauty and tranquility of nature. The work is a tribute to the Yuan dynasty artist Fang Congyi, whose style Lan Ying emulated, and is a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional Chinese art. The painting is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
