It was painted by Huang Gongwang, one of the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty. Many experts think it is among the greatest masterpieces in Chinese art history. The story behind this painting is also very unusual. Huang was almost eighty years old when he began working on Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. He first made a rough drawing of the whole painting in one sitting. Over the following years, he then added parts to it whenever he was in the mood. The final painting was almost seven metres long and it was given to a friend as a present. Reading Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains shows the beauty of the countryside of Jiangnan. The painting takes us on a breathtaking journey in the mountains. Along the way, we follow narrow paths, cross wooden bridges and pass along a wide river. If we look carefully, we can see people far away in the landscape. Some woodsmen are hidden among the trees. On the river, there is a man sitting alone on a boat. He is fishing. It looks like he is at one with nature, and we feel the same when we look at the painting. Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was such an amazing painting that it was copied by hundreds of artists. The original painting changed owners many times. One of the owners liked it so much that he even put it next to himself while sleeping and eating. Sometime around 1650, something terrible happened: the famous painting was damaged by fire, and it was split into two pieces. The two parts went their separate ways. In the following centuries, they each experienced many dramatic events. One of them even became part of the Qianlong Emperor’s art collection! In 2011, after more than 300 years of separation, the two parts of the legendary painting were at last shown together in one exhibition. Read the passage quickly and match the main idea with each paragraph. Fast-reading How Huang Gongwang created the painting. The unusual history of the painting (copies, damage, separation, reunion). What the painting shows (the beauty of Jiangnan countryside). Introduction to the painting and its painter.
