Evening Rain in the Ba Mountains
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.The artistic conception of this work can be inferred from Fu’s inscription on another version on the same theme, in which he writes, “I have been in Shu [Sichuan] for almost five years, residing on the lower slope of Jin’gangpo. . . . For nearly twenty days there has been persistent rain. The drops pattering on the low houses have stirred the feelings of this sojourner. Last night [my wife] Shihui and I talked about our moves since the outbreak of war. We conceived this painting together to commemorate these days.”
