The Immortal Lü Dongbin Appearing over the Yueyang Pavilion
Not on view
This album leaf appears to depict a scene in which the puckish Daoist immortal Lü Dongbin dazzles the local population of Yueyang by hovering over its famous pavilion on a magical cloud. In this artist’s rendition, the tower is almost a world unto itself, with broad galleries, soaring eaves, and a vast viewing platform. The magical landscape from which Lü has emerged is represented by a lone mountain, described economically with a broad, graded wash of dilute ink.
