Publisher's Synopsis

Shortly before the autumn of 1610 the renowned Ming dynasty official, painter, writer and collector Mi Wanzhong (1570 1628) purchased a scholar's rock to add to his already famous collection. So mesmerised was he by this newly purchased wonder that he commissioned his friend and fellow painter Wu Bin (c. 1543 c.1627) to paint a scroll to celebrate this fantastic rock, showing not one, but ten paintings of the rock.
