Japanese: 周臣 - しゅうしん（英語表記）Zhou Chen

A Chinese painter from the mid-Ming Dynasty. Born in Wu County (Suzhou, Jiangsu Province). His pen name was Shunqing and his pen name was Dongcun. He studied painting under Chen Xian, but his lineage can be traced back to the Academy painters of the late Southern Song Dynasty, and so his school of painting is also known as the Academy school. He excelled in landscape and figure paintings, and demonstrated a sophisticated depiction style. His major works include "Guests at a Mountain Village" (Shanghai Museum) and "View of Xishan Tower" (Boston Museum of Fine Arts).
