Emperor Huizong of Song (1082–1135) was the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty and a highly accomplished painter, calligrapher, and patron of the arts. Renowned for his elegant "Slender Gold" calligraphy style and detailed bird-and-flower paintings, he played a crucial role in advancing Chinese artistic traditions. Under his reign, the imperial court became a major cultural center, fostering developments in painting, poetry, and music. However, his focus on the arts and political mismanagement contributed to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, leading to his capture by the Jurchens. Despite his tragic fate, his artistic legacy endures in Chinese cultural history. (OpenAI, 2025)

W. Ximeng (c. 1096–1119) was a Chinese painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, renowned for his masterpiece *A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains*. A prodigy, he studied under Emperor Huizong and mastered the meticulous blue-green landscape style, using vibrant mineral pigments to create vast, detailed scenery. His only surviving work remains one of the greatest achievements of Chinese landscape painting. Despite his immense talent, W. Ximeng's life was tragically short, and little is known about his later years, making his contributions even more remarkable in the history of Chinese art. (OpenAI, 2025)

Note: the artist's first name starts with "W" and ends in "ang". Apparently this word sets off alarm bells in NightCafe's auto moderator. So I have just used "W."
