¡@Shitao was from the Imperial family of the Ming dynasty but his family moved to Guangxi province where Shitao was born. After the fall of the Ming dynasty, he became a monk. He and Mei Qing were regarded as leading figures of the ¡§Huangshan School of Painting¡¨. In his later years, Shitao settled in Yangzhou and became a close friend of Zhu Da , each achieving fame as a member of the ¡§Four Monks of Painting of the early Qing Dynasty¡¨. Shitao is acknowledged as a genius in the history of Chinese painting. Without rigidly adhering to any single painting style, he attained versatility in painting landscapes, flowers and figures, all of which were characterized by vigorous and powerful images with an extraordinary degree of individuality. ¡@¡½¸ê®Æ¡G»´äÃÀ³NÀ]
