Huang Gongwang painted the Yuan-dynasty Chinese landscape handscroll Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains.
Huang Gongwang created the work between about 1348 and 1350, near the end of his life. It depicts the Fuchun River landscape in Zhejiang through a sequence of ink-and-wash scenes rather than a single fixed viewpoint. The painting is celebrated for its dry brushwork, restrained palette, and changing rhythms of mountains, trees, water, and empty space.
The handscroll was later divided into two sections. The larger section, often called The Remaining Mountain, is in the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, while the shorter section, The Useless Man Scroll, is in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Their separation is central to the work’s history.
Huang Gongwang was one of the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty, a group especially influential in literati landscape painting. The scroll is sometimes confused with later copies and adaptations, but the original is the work associated with Huang Gongwang.
