Wang Wu (Chinese: 王武; pinyin: Wáng Wǔ; Wade–Giles: Wang Wu); ca. 1632-1690 was a Chinese painter and poet during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912).
Wang was born in Wu country in the Jiangsu province.[1] His style name was 'Qingzhong' and his sobriquets were 'Xuedian daoren and Wang'an'. Wang specialized in bird-and-flower painting, using a brilliant and minute style. Unlike many painters of the time, Wang was not affiliated with any school of painting.[2]
