[Born] Wanli 13 (1585)
[Died] Kangxi 3 (1664)
A painter of the Zhejiang School in China from the late Ming to the early Qing. He was from Qiantang (Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province). His pen name was Tian Shu, and his pen names were Chaosou, Dongguo Laonong, Shi Tou Tuo, etc. He was called the "general of the Zhejiang School" and is thought to have been a professional painter who mainly sold paintings in Hangzhou, but he was highly regarded by Dong Qichang and others, and was close to the literati of Hangzhou. He is thought to have been a member of the West Lake Poetry Society, so he has a strong character as a literati painter. He mainly painted landscapes, and is said to have imitated painters from both the northern and southern schools of the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, following the customs of the contemporary Wu school, but his form and composition show a unique style, and the influence of the Zhejiang school can be seen. His son Lan Meng, and Meng's sons Lan Shen and Lan Tao all inherited the family tradition, and produced many followers, including Liu Du and Su Yi. His representative work is "Landscape Painting" (private).

[生]万暦13(1585)

中国，明末，清初の浙派 (せっぱ) の画家。銭塘 (浙江省杭州) の人。字は田叔，号はちょう叟 (ちょうそう) ，東郭老農，石頭陀など。浙派の殿将と称され，おもに杭州で売画によっていた職業画家と考えられるが，早く董其昌 (とうきしょう) らに重んじられて杭州の文人とも親しく，西湖の詩社の一員であったと推測されるなど，文人画家的性格が強い。おもに山水を描き，同時代の呉派の慣習にならって唐，宋，元の南北両宗にわたる画家を模したといわれるが，形態性や画面構成などは個性的な様式を示し，浙派の影響を指摘できる。子の藍孟，孟の子の藍深，藍濤はみな家法を継承したほか，劉度，蘇宜ら多くの追随者を出した。代表作『山水図』 (個人) 。
