Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
Stone Bell Mountain, outside the city walls of Hukou County, is the gate to Pengli Lake and sits at the meeting point of Jiangxi and Huguang. The mountain’s transcendent beauty is foremost in Southeast China, and it is strategically important. Having read about it in Master Po’s account, I had longed to visit it for years. Traveling to Yuzhang in winter of the wuyin year (1698), I passed beneath its stone cliff on a boat. Only then did I realize that Master Po’s words were entirely accurate. In a flash of inspiration, I created this painting after the manners of Jing Hao and Guan Tong. On the fifteenth day of the third month of the gengchen year (1700), remembering my past journey, I finished the painting with further details. Inscribed by Lutai Qi.
