A journey through the collections

Chinese landscapes on paper and silk

Mountains, water and distant figures in Chinese landscape paintings from the 1600s to the 1800s.

Compare the ways these painters arrange mountains, trees and human figures. The museum descriptions and materials offer a closer reading of each work. A country-level pin indicates the archive’s cultural attribution, not the location of a particular mountain.
