Streams and Mountains, 1372. Creator: Xu Ben (Chinese, 1335-1380)
Streams and Mountains, 1372. Among the five inscriptions at the top of the painting that comment on its merits is one by the artist: " Green trees, yellow orioles, everywhere are mountains; Aimlessly I return from the stream, where I watched the clouds. Mans life does not allow unbroken ease, But to be able to be high up in the mountain, this is leisure."
