沈周简介：
沈周（1427～1509）是明代杰出的书画家。字启南，号石田、白石翁、玉田生、有居竹居主人等。他汉族，出生于江苏省苏州府长洲县（今江苏省苏州市），卒于正德四年，是文人画“吴派”的开创者，与文徵明、唐寅、仇英并称“明四家”。他著有《石田集》、《客座新闻》等。
沈周的传世作品包括《庐山高图》、《秋林话旧图》、《沧州趣图》，这些作品不仅展现了他的绘画技巧，也反映了他对自然景观的深刻感受和对生活的热爱。
沈周生平经历介绍：
沈家的世代隐居在吴门地区，他的曾祖父是王蒙的好友，而他的父亲则是杜琼的学生，因此书法乃家学渊源。他的父亲和伯父都是当地知名的人物，他们以诗文书法闻名乡里。沈周一生的主要是在家中学习，不参与科举考试，而专注于吟诗作画，他追求精神上的自由，不愿意受到社会现实的束缚。
他学识渊博，对收藏艺术品也非常重视。他交游广泛，在当时极受人们尊敬，有许多人向他购买或请教关于绘画的问题，他从不拒绝。此外，即使有人为其作伪品而要求题款，他也会欣然应允。
在元至明之间文人画领域中，沈周扮演着承前启后的角色。在书法上，他继承了黄庭坚的手笔；在绘画方面，则深造山水花鸟，并擅长人物画像，以山水和花鸟为代表性成就突出。在绘制方法上，早期接受家庭教育，同时兼取杜琼之道后来则博采众长，从宋元各家的风格中汲取精华，最终形成一种独特风格，这种风格融合了董源巨然以及元四大家黄公望王蒙吴镇水墨浅红体系，又吸纳南宋李刘马夏之笔墨功力，使得笔墨既刚又柔，以此自成一派。
Shen Zhou's representative works are now mostly preserved in major museums, such as the Palace Museum, which houses important works like "Fang Dongju Mountain and Water" scroll (created in 1473), "Qingzhou Interest" scroll, "Gradation of Barbarians," "Moxi Picture" (originally two separate scrolls later combined into one), and "Lying Down Leisurely." The Nanjing Museum also possesses several masterpieces by Shen Zhou, including a painting titled "Dong Zhuang" and a picture of chrysanthemums. The Liaoning Museum holds two outstanding paintings by Shen Zhou: one is called "Yuanjiang Tielian," created in 1507; the other is an untitled work that showcases his skillful brushwork.
In terms of artistic characteristics, Shen Zhou's paintings demonstrate a mastery of various techniques. His early work was influenced by Song Dynasty masters like Li Liu Ma Xia Qi'an; his later style was characterized by rough strokes with ink washes that conveyed grandeur and strength. He developed new methods for expressing the natural world through freehand writing-style landscape painting and flower-and-bird art.
Shen Zhou's life story reflects his pursuit of intellectual freedom from societal conventions. His artistic legacy has been celebrated for centuries as he continues to inspire artists today with his unique style that blended elements from different dynasties to create something entirely new.
