Mist separates it from a wooded hill with roofs half hidden among its trees, and along the road at lower right a line of tiny pack animals moves past great boulders. Red collectors' seals mark the corners, and a title slip and seals sit on the pale silk mount above the painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scroll is the best-known work by Fan Kuan, and possibly his only surviving one. Its arrangement of near ground, misty middle distance and towering far peak set an ideal of monumental landscape that later painters returned to for inspiration. A half-hidden signature on the painting, long lost, was rediscovered in 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: hanging scroll, ink and light colour on silk, Northern Song dynasty, c. 1000–1020; National Palace Museum, Taipei.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFan Kuan, born Fan Zhongzheng (about 960–about 1030), was a Chinese landscape painter of the early Northern Song dynasty, both a Daoist and a Neo-Confucian. His Travelers among Mountains and Streams, a towering hanging scroll and possibly his only surviving work, set an ideal of monumental landscape to which later painters returned again and again: a mule train passes beneath a vast central peak, with near, middle and far distance clearly divided. Its half-hidden signature was rediscovered only in 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
