Seventy-Two Peaks Under the Blue Sky with Mount Furong, 1785

Matsumura Goshun

1752–1811 · Japanese painting · 4 works

Matsumura Goshun’s paintings connect landscape with literature. A low screen spreads a Chinese mountain range across adjoining panels, while other works present sworn brothers or episodes from Japanese essays. The formats offer different ways to look: following a landscape continuously or moving from one small scene to the next.
