I am trying to understand the seals and title for this painting. I have tried importing the image of the painting in Pleco and many other seal identification websites, but still no luck. I believe it could be a painted by a very famous Chinese artist and I need to verify its authenticity. Do you know what the signature says?

壬午年

Can't tell which month it is.. maybe someone else can identify it.

  • it seems like 夏月 to me, 夏 is elongated like 峰. It can also be 夏日 which is a common term for Summer season

There is no "title" of the painting as such - the theme of the painting can only be inferred from the text, which as @sylvia points out literally says:

巫峽神女峰壬午年丙Ｘ月

Painted at Shénnǚ peak of the Wū Gorge on the Year of Rénwǔ and month of 丙X.
