Mountain Landscape
Soga Shōhaku Japanese
Not on view
This Chinese-style landscape by Soga Shōhaku, created when he was in his early thirties, demonstrates his indebtedness to Kano School technique and anticipates a type of composition that he would become famous for: Chinese style pavilions in an evocative lakeside setting with steep mountains in the background. Some scholars have doubted its authenticity because of its conservative brushwork in comparison to his later, more famous compositions, but the signature and seal all point to work of his early career.
