Shin Nanbin / Shen Quan 沈南蘋

沈南蘋 Shin Nanbin / Shen Quan (b1682)
A Chinese painter of the Qing dynasty, he lived in Nagasaki for less than two years in 1731 (Kyoho 16), where he introduced the techniques of flower-and-bird painting in a sketchy style. His disciples, including Kumashiro Yuhi, formed the Nanbin school. He had a great influence on Maruyama Okyo, Ito Jakuchu, and other painters of the mid-Edo period.
