Lin Xue (Chinese: 林雪), also known by courtesy name Lin Tiansu (Chinese: 林天素), was a Chinese poet, painter, and calligrapher during the Ming dynasty, noted for her landscape paintings.[1]
Lin lived by the West Lake in Hangzhou,[2] where she worked as a courtesan until her marriage into a respectable family.[3]
Lin drew the attention of leading poets and painters of the time, including and Dong Qichang. She painted in the latter's Southern School style, and is described as having a fluid hand with a feminine sensibility. Her landscape album of 1621 contained copies of earlier masterworks, and her copy style is considered exquisite by critics.[3]
