Hong Ren, who is also known as Hongren, (Chinese: 弘仁; born 1610, Xixian, Anhui province, China—died 1663[1][2]) was a Chinese Buddhist monk and painter of the early Qing dynasty and a member of the Anhui (or Xin'an) school of painting. His birth name was Jiang Fang. After the fall of the Ming dynasty and the death of his mother,[2] he became a monk, as did his artistic contemporaries, Zhu Da, Shitao, and Kun Can. They protested the fall of the Ming dynasty by becoming monks.
