A MUSEUM in Taiwan will display a torn 660-year-old Chinese landscape painting. One piece has been kept on the mainland while the other is on the island.
The main portion of the 6-meter-long "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" painting by revered artist Huang Gongwang is stored in Taipei's Palace Museum.
It will be reunited with the other piece, shipped from the mainland's Zhejiang Provincial Museum, at an exhibition opening on June 2, according to Taipei's Palace Museum Director Chou Kung-shin.
The Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) painting was split into two parts some 300 years ago as a private collector burned it as he was dying, but a relative quickly saved it from the flames, Chou said.
One part was among some 600,000 treasures moved from the mainland to Taiwan more than 60 years ago.
"Huang finished the scroll at age 81," Chou said. "It is an important work in art history, and has changed hands among many noted collectors."
