The Four Masters of the Ming dynasty () are a traditional grouping in Chinese art history of four famous Chinese painters of the Ming dynasty. The group are Shen Zhou (1427-1509), Wen Zhengming (1470-1559), both of the Wu School, Tang Yin (1470-1523), and Qiu Ying (c.1494-c.1552). They were approximate contemporaries, with Shen Zhou the teacher of Wen Zhengming, while the other two studied with Zhou Chen. Their styles and subject matter were varied.〔Rawson, p. 340〕 ==Other names== There are several alternative terms for these four leading painters:〔 * Four Great Masters of the Ming () * Four Masters of Suzhou: all four came from the vicinity of Suzhou.〔 * Four Masters of Wu (): all four came from the region of Wu, which surrounds the city of Suzhou.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wumen Painting School and Four Master Painters of Suzhou )〕 The term was first coined during the mid-Ming dynasty, probably during the Jiajing era, and has continued to be used since then. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Four Masters of the Ming dynasty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
