Shitao was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, poet, and art theorist whose highly individual approach challenged established conventions of landscape painting. He emphasized direct experience, creative freedom, and the expressive potential of the individual brushstroke rather than strict imitation of earlier masters. His paintings and influential writings on art established him as one of the most original voices in the history of Chinese painting.
