范寬
北宋雄渾山水大師
范寬（約950年—約1032年），字中立，又名中正，陝西華原人（今陝西銅川耀州區），是宋代繪畫大師。因其性情寬厚豁達，人稱「寬」，故以范寬為名。 范寬、董源和李成並稱為「北宋三大家」。他的藝術成就與李成相當，二人合稱「李范」。他也與同為華原人的柳公權並稱為「柳范」。 He first studied under Li Cheng, but later felt that 'learning from people is not as good as learning from nature,' so he secluded himself in Zhongnan and Taihua, modeling nature in a personal style and creating his own distinctive approach. His paintings feature mountains that are solid and dignified, with a grand and imposing momentum that gives a sense of rugged majesty. 他的筆法剛勁有力，呈現出如雨點、豆點和釘頭皴等多種紋理。他常在山頂描繪茂密的森林，在水邊佈置巨石，並以深色調渲染建築。他也擅長雪景畫。 His surviving works include 'Travelers among Mountains and Streams,' 'Snowy Mountain and Xiao Temple,' and 'Snowy Cold Forest.' 2004年，美國《生活》雜誌將范寬評為「過去一千年中最具影響力的100人」第59位。
