Beneath tall bamboo stalks a poet is sitting in a grass thatched pavilion and looking at a rushing mountain creek. Behind him his servant boy is busy with preparing the ink and paper for the poet to write down his impressions of the scenery. Tang Yin was one of the 'Four Great Masters of the Ming Dynasty' and a brilliantly talented man. In 1498 he won first place in the provincial examinations in Nanking but failed in the capital examinations in Peking because of a false charge. He thereupon returned into his hometown Suzhou and devoted himself to painting and calligraphy creating his own brilliant style of landscape and figure painting - Wear, minor restorations
