Wu Daozi
Wu Daozi (c. 685 - c. 758 CE) was a Chinese painter of the Tang dynasty. The British art historian Michael Sullivan considered him one of the masters of the seventh century, and in China his paintings are believed to mark the peak of court painting. He painted murals widely in Buddhist and Daoist temples and pioneered dynamic figure painting with round strokes that showed flowing clothes, although none of his original works survive.
