Lai Jing
CHINA, Guangdong, Foshan; Ming to Qing dynasty
Lai Jing, who was also known as Mengrong or Hermit Baishui, was a monk and a painter from Nanhai district in Foshan. Following the downfall of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), Lai renounced at Wanshou Temple and adopted the Dharma name Shendu. Greatly influenced by the Wu school, his paintings primarily depict landscapes with forceful brushstrokes. Lai was equally renowned for poetry and calligraphy, in which he emulated Su Shi and Wen Zhengming.
His extant works include the paintings of Landscape and Pines and Mountain, kept at Guangdong Provincial Museum in Guangzhou, and Sitting and Observing Baishan, kept at the Guangdong Museum of Art in Guangzhou.
