Frosted Huangshan Mountain evokes spirit of ancient ink paintings

Among them were Hongren (1610-63), Mei Qing (1623-97) and Shitao (1642-1708), the three representatives of the Huangshan School of Painting.

The three ink painters of the late Ming (1368-1644) and early Qing (1644-1911) dynasties devoted most of their artistic life to the mountain and, in return, the mountain made them who they were.

Mei said that since his visit to Huangshan, most of his artistic influence came from the mountain. Shitao said, “Huangshan is my teacher, and I’m a friend to Huangshan.”
