Xia Gui
Pure and Remote View of Streams and Mountains, detail of hand scroll in ink and paper by Xia Gui, early 13th century (Southern Song); in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan.
A major version of The Twelve Views from a Thatched Hut by the Chinese artist Xia Gui is preserved in the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Although the work originally consisted of twelve views, this specific version is considered the best by far, even though it preserves only four of them.1
