Landscape in the Style of Mi Fu, 14th century, Attributed to Gao Kegong, 1248 - 1310, 42 x 15-5/16 in. ( x cm), Ink on paper, China, 14th century, A colophon (mark or inscription) on the mounting of this painting written by renowned painter and calligrapher Wang Wenzhi (1730–1802) attributes it to the important Yuan artist Gao Kegong. (Eminent artists were often invited to write colophons to authenticate or simply to increase the value of the works.) Technically and conceptually, this moistly atmospheric landscape is a clear link to an earlier tradition begun by Mi Fu
