Who are the famous Chinese painters?

1. Han Kun

The first person to draw cows in past dynasties was Han Kun, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was versatile, skilled in calligraphy, good at poetry, and good at drawing people, rural customs and scenery, cattle, horses, sheep, donkeys and other animals. His masterpiece "Five Cattle Map", which was handed down from ancient times, made cows stand, walk and bow down.

The expression is vivid and incisive. Emperor Qianlong called it "the true beauty of spring", and Zhao Mengfu, a master of painting and calligraphy in the Yuan Dynasty, praised it as "an upright and upright man, a famous pen for seeking the world". Han Ming's "Five Cattle Map" is the oldest paper painting in existence, and it is also one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from ancient times in China. Second, Dai Song

Dai Song was another master of cow painting after Han Lian in the Tang Dynasty. Dai Song is a disciple of Han Dan. Different from Han Dan, Han Dan is good at drawing oxen, while Dai Song is good at drawing buffaloes. It is said that Dai Song first drew oxen from Han Dan, which won the essence of his brushwork.

However, the style of his works can't get rid of Han Han's shadow, so Dai Song was very upset. One day, he happened to see two buffaloes counterfeiting, and it suddenly burst into flames. From then on, he often went to the fields to carefully observe the various expressions of buffaloes, and took buffaloes as the object of painting, and finally became an outstanding master of painting cows.

Dai Song's buffaloes pay attention to their bones and muscles, and highlight their wildness and dynamism, so they have the reputation of "the wonder of wild bones and muscles". His most famous representative works include Bullfighting Picture, Cattle Grazing Picture and Grazing Picture. Third, Li Tang
