The Mountain of Five Cataracts | Cleveland Museum of Art

A unique landscape painting in the existing body of Chen Hongshou’s art, this painting reveals his involvement with the practice of <em>fang</em> (imitation) to achieve creative transformation. Chen acquired the tradition stemming from Dong Yuan of the Five Dynasties, with which he sought an artistic individuality that lends his work an idiosyncratic vision and extraordinary power.
