Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationGong Xian (1618-1689) was a renowned painter of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and one of the Great Painters of Jinling. Known by aliases including Qixian, Banqian, Banmu, Yeyi, Zhaizhangren, and the Wild Old Man of Zhongshan, he hailed from Kunshan in Jiangsu Province, although he was a regular resident of Jinling (present day Nanjing). In his early years, he was active in the literary association Fushe, traveling a good deal during the turbulent period at the end of the Ming Dynasty. From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, he lived the life of a recluse and was named one of the Eight Great Painters of Jinling, along with other local painters Fan Qi, Gao Cen, Zou Zhe, Wu Hong, Ye Xin, Hu Zao, and Xie Sun. He was a skilled landscape painter, following the style of Dong Yuan and Wu Zhen. He focused on sketches of nature, using ink to present a sense of layering to form a style of his own.
