淡雅淺絳山水與墨竹
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,趙原與顧瑛、倪瓚、王蒙等名士交往。明初,他被召入宮廷,但因在繪製功臣肖像時未能符合皇帝心意而被處死。其傳世作品包括《合溪草堂圖》(現藏於上海博物館)和《陸羽烹茶圖》(現藏於臺灣臺北國立故宮博物院)。
