Sesshū Tōyō
![A 16th century copy of Sesshū's 1491 self-portrait](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/75/Portrait_of_Sesshu.jpg)
Sesshū was born into the samurai and trained at Shōkoku-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan, as a Zen monk. From his early childhood, Sesshū showed a talent for painting and eventually became widely revered throughout Japan as a wise, reputable Zen scholar, and the greatest painter priest of Zen-Shu.
Sesshū worked in a painting atelier whilst training under Tenshō Shūbun (c. 1418–1463). But upon visiting China, his work took on a distinctive Chinese influence, merging Japanese and Chinese styles to develop his individualistic style of Zen paintings. Sesshū's influence on painting was so wide that many schools of art appointed him their founder. Sesshū's most acclaimed works are ''Winter Landscape'' (c. 1470s), ''Birds and Flowers'' (1420–1506) and ''Four Landscape Scrolls of the Seasons'' (1420–1506). Provided by Wikipedia
