- Subject Matter
- Huang Junbi brushed this scene of Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province from memory. Huang was renowned for his use of subtle, trans-parent color washes to suggest clouds and water, and in this painting one can almost hear the sounds of the flowing stream and feel the cold, damp air of the clouds.
