Fu Shan, a noted calligrapher as well as a painter and physician from Shansi, lived through the tumultuous period between the Ming and Ch'ing dynasties. He fought the Ch'ing and became known as a Ming loyalist.
"Fu Shan is better known as a calligrapher, and his landscape paintings are relatively rare. This is one of his best. I don't usually go for the facile equations of painting and calligraphy - they are profoundly different arts. But here, because of the highly formalized character of the painting, one could make formal connections with his calligraphy."
