Peaks near the Cloud Boat residence
Xuezhuang Chinese
Not on view
Xuezhuang was one of a group of seventeenth-century painters who took special inspiration from the scenery of the Yellow Mountains (Huangshan). A Buddhist monk, the artist spent the last three decades of his life in a simple residence there. He called his home the Cloud Boat, a reference to the sea of clouds that would regularly sweep into the valley below. He painted this view from his bedroom, likely in direct response to the scenery.
