By Huang Gongwang aka Yifeng Daoren (一峰道人, Daoist of One Peak), who studied Daoism and later became a follower of the Quanzhen Sect (全真教).
Traveling throughout the Songjiang and Hangzhou regions, he made a living by fortune-telling. Like his interest in calligraphy and music, painting was an activity practiced on the side.
Huang Gongwang worked on the painting “Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains” on and off when the mood struck him from about 1347 to 1350, when the major portions of this handscroll were completed. This representation of the Fuchun Mountains was painted for a fellow Daoist named Master Wuyong (無用師) and represents Huang’s greatest surviving masterpiece, which is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
