A grey hill carries a dark-roofed pavilion, with two blue-tinged leaning trees on the slope to its left, and a gnarled black pine juts from an ochre-streaked crag. At right a towering cliff of grey washes and wind-blown grasses rises to a thin waterfall. A line of verse and the signature run down the right edge beside three red seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: album leaf, ink and colour on paper, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShitao (1642–1707), born Zhu Ruoji into the Ming imperial clan in Guangxi, escaped the fall of the dynasty as a child and had become a Buddhist monk by 1651. He lived in Anhui, Nanjing and Yangzhou, spent some years in Beijing seeking patronage, and in 1693 turned to Daoism and settled in Yangzhou, where he died. He painted landscapes, flowers and figures in many manners, treating earlier styles as a starting point rather than a model, and in his Comments on Painting wrote of the single brushstroke as the root of painting. With Bada Shanren he is counted among the Individualist painters of the early Qing. His work, including Wilderness Colors, is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
