China: Hanging scroll with 5 men by Zhang Lu (1464-1538), Ming Dynasty, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai.

Zhang Lu (simplified Chinese: ??; traditional Chinese: ??; pinyin: Zhang Lù; Wade–Giles: Chang Lu)(Chang Lu, traditional: ??, simplified: ??); ca. 1464-1538), was a Chinese landscape painter during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). Zhang was born in Xiangfu (?? - present day Kaifeng in the Henan province). His style name was 'Tian Chi' (??) and his pseudonym was 'Ping Shan' (??). He was a student of Wu Wei. Zhang followed the Zhe school of painting. He painted landscapes and human figures in a free and uninhibited style. A hanging scroll (Chinese: ??; pinyin: lìzhóu; also called ? or ??) is one of the many traditional ways to display and exhibit Chinese painting and calligraphy. Displaying the art in such a way was befitting for public appreciation and appraisal of the aesthetics of the scroll in its entirety by the audience. The traditional craft involved in creating such a work is considered an art in itself. Mountings can be divided into a few sections, such as handscrolls, hanging scrolls, album leaves, and screens amongst others.
