The “Scroll of Eighty-Seven Immortals” is believed to be a silk line drawing created by Tang-Dynasty artist Wu Daozi (c. AD 680–759). It’s currently housed at the Xu Beihong Memorial Museum in #Beijing. This artwork vanished from history for several centuries before being rediscovered by Xu Beihong (1895–1953) in a foreigner’s home.
Xu Beihong treasured the piece deeply; he carried it with him everywhere. He even stamped it with his personal seal, “Beihong’s Life,” symbolising his strong connection with the painting. Thanks to him, the artwork has been preserved and passed down to future generations.
