淡雅浅绛山水与墨竹
Zhao Yuan(赵原), whose original name was Yuan(元), courtesy name Shanchang(善长), and art name Danlin(丹林), was a painter from Ju(莒) County, Shandong. His birth and death years are unknown. He lived during the late Yuan and early Ming periods and spent a long time in Suzhou. He learned landscape painting from Dong Yuan and Wang Meng, often creating light red landscapes with strong, elegant brushwork. He was also good at painting ink bamboo, with varied techniques, earning titles like 'dragon horn,' 'phoenix tail,' and 'gold inlay knife.' 元末,赵原与顾瑛、倪瓒、王蒙等名士交往。明初,他被召入宫廷,但因在绘制功臣肖像时未能符合皇帝心意而被处死。其传世作品包括《合溪草堂图》(现藏于上海博物馆)和《陆羽烹茶图》(现藏于台湾台北国立故宫博物院)。
