His style names were Tzu-wei and po-hu; his sobriquet was Liu-ju. He was endowed with great genius, but was by nature unconcentional and lived the life of an unrestrained bonvivant. He excelled in whatever he did: poetry, prose, calligraphy and painting. He was a student of Chou Ch’en (ca. 1450-1535), but soon surpassed his teacher. He is considered on of the Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty. Farming in Kiangnan represents the watery scenery of Kiangnan, with its alternating fields and streams. The farmers are variously engaged in plowing, fishing, and leisure activities; the impression is that of a Kiangnan village in the spring planting season. Judging from the style of the painting, it could have been done around 1504 when T’ang Yin was thirty-four years old.
