Tao Chi (1641–1720), also called Shi Tao (Shih T'ao), was a Chinese landscape painter, calligrapher, and poet during the late Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).
Chi was born into an imperial, royal family. He later became a monk to avoid political persecution where he studied and practiced writings and paintings. He subsequently left the Buddhist church to become a professional painter.[1] Chi once described his style as "the best method is no method". His works were produced with combining many different techniques. He was recognized as a top artist in his time and was very influential on other artists.[2]
