Dai Jin was a prominent painter of the Zhe school of Ming Dynasty painting, drawing heavily upon the Ma-Xia style of the Southern Song Dynasty.
He served as a court painter for a time, and was much appreciated by the Xuande Emperor, but was eventually ejected from the court for daring to paint a fisherman's coat red, a color reserved for elites. Returning to his native Zhejiang province, he became prominent in the local Zhe school of painting.
