Li Gonglin (李公麟, ca. 1041–1106) was a Chinese scholar-official and painter of the Northern Song dynasty, celebrated for making the ink line carry extraordinary expressive weight. A horse’s stance, a robe’s fold, or the interval between two figures could convey character with remarkable economy. He belonged to the intellectual circle of Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, and Mi Fu, helping establish painting as a vehicle for cultivated thought and personal values. Some museums give his birth year as 1049. (OpenAI, 2026)
