Sheng Mao

• Shèng Mào (birth and death years unknown), courtesy name Zǐzhāo, was originally from Lin’an and later resided in Wutang, Jiaxing (in present-day Zhejiang Province). He was active mainly during the Zhizheng era of the Yuan dynasty. His father, Shèng Hóng, excelled in figure painting, fine-line brushwork, and landscapes. Shèng Mào inherited this family tradition and became skilled in painting landscapes, figures, and birds-and-flowers.
