Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum
Fu Baoshi Chinese
Not on view
The mausoleum of the founder of the Republic of China was a famous landmark in Nanjing, the city where Fu Baoshi lived during the final two decades of his life. During this period, his work increasingly reflected his lifelong observations of war and revolution. Here, the dense forest surrounding the shrine creates a solemn, gloomy mood that suggests the artist’s emotional state just months before his death on September 29, 1965.
