Wang Meng (王蒙, 1308-1385) was a Chinese painter during the Yuan dynasty. His style name was Shuming (叔明); sobriquets Huanghe Shanqiao (黃鶴山樵), Xiangguang Jushi (香光居士). A native of Wuxing (吳興, modern Huzhou 湖州, Zhejiang 浙江), he was a grandson of the famous artist Zhao Mengfu (趙孟頫, 1254-1322).
Wang Meng served in a minor capacity in the governments of both the Yuan and the Ming but was linked (erroneously, it was later revealed) with the prime minister Hu Weiyong (胡惟庸) who conspired against the Ming emperor Taizu; as a result, he was imprisoned for the last five years of his life.
Wang Meng’s painting followed the styles of Wang Wei (王維, 701-761), Dong Yuan (董源, 10th c.), and Juran (巨然, 10th c.), establishing a style of his own and becoming one of the Four Great Masters of the Yuan along with Huang Gongwang (黃公望, 1269-1354), Wu Zhen (吳鎮, 1280-1354), and Ni Zan (倪瓚, 1301-1374).
