Kirjallisuus
The artist is a famous ink-painter and calligrapher of the Qing dynasty 1644 – 1912.
Bada Shanren is the sobriquet, used by the famous ink-painter Zhu Da (1626 - 1705). He is considered as one of the greatest masters in the history of Chinese ink painting. Consequently, his works have for long, and still are, the most important sources of inspiration among Chinese ink-painters of the “Great expressionist style” (Da Xieyi).
