Gu Kaizhi is one of the most famous and admired early Chinese painters. Among the works attributed to him are the so-called "Admonitions Scroll" and "Nymph of the Luo River," two of the earliest and most admired works in the Chinese painting canon.
Some sources group Gu Kaizhi alongside Lu Tanwei and Zhang Sengyou as the three greatest painters of their time;[1] however, of the three, it is Gu alone who regularly appears in survey courses and textbooks on Chinese art history.
