  • Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford by Shelagh Vainker

    Chinese Paintings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

    Ni Tian was from Yangzhou in Jiangsu, where as a painter he followed the eighteenth-century Yangzhou eccentric, Hua Yan. He first studied painting with Wang Su, and specialised in figures and Buddhist images. He settled in Shanghai, probably during the late 1880s or early 1890s, and he appears then to have immersed himself in the Shanghai School, with a particular regard for its leading painter, Ren Yi (d. 1895, q.v.). He has been credited with carrying forward Ren's style to a third generation of Shanghai painters. He was also well-known as a dealer in paintings.
