Landscape with Man Crossing Bridge

Fan Hong

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Landscape with a man crossing a bridge by Fan Hong: The painting depicts a landscape scene with a large cliff on the left side, with a group of trees in front of it. To the left of the cliff are two buildings with tiled roofs, one larger than the other. A path leads to the right, where a man crosses a bridge. The background features mountains and a hazy sky. The colors used are muted browns and grays. There are Chinese characters written vertically on the left side of the painting, accompanied by a red seal. The artwork appears to be rendered on a textured surface, possibly silk or paper.
