L: 7 1/8 in(18cm) W: 20 7/8 in(53cm) Tang Yin (1470-1524), courtesy name Tang Bohu, was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, and poet of the Ming dynasty period whose life story has become a part of popular lore. Even though he was born during the Ming dynasty, many of his paintings, especially those of people, were illustrated with elements from Pre-Tang to Song dynasty art. Tang Yin is one of the most notable painters in the history of Chinese art. He is one of the “Four Masters of Ming dynasty” (Ming Si Jia), which also includes Shen Zhou (1427-1509), Wen Zhengming (1470-1559) and Qiu Ying (1495-1552). His influence on the art of contemporaries, like Cai Han, is notable. Tang was also a talented poet, and together with his contemporaries Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming (1460-1526), and Xu Zhenqing, he was one of the “Four Literary Masters of the Wuzhong Region.“
