1522
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Looking for a Monastery in the Misty Mountains is a 1522 unspecified by Chen Chun, a Ming Painting work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows tall, jagged mountains rising from a misty valley. Trees cling to the slopes, and a small figure stands near a bridge in the lower left corner. The colors are mostly ink washes in shades of gray and brown, with a blue border framing the scene. The artist used quick, sketchy brushstrokes to suggest movement in the clouds and rock textures. One person is tiny compared to the towering cliffs, making the landscape feel huge and overwhelming. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Chen Chun, courtesy name Daofu and art name Baiyang Shanren, was a Ming dynasty artist, calligrapher, and poet.
