Li Sheng

Li Sheng is a Ming Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art.

Li Sheng painted ink on silk, showing Buddhist scenes in the Yuan dynasty. His 1355 scroll *Buddha’s Conversion of Five Bhiksu* captures robes, rocks, and a haloed teacher in monochrome strokes. The work belongs to a quiet tradition of line-and-wash storytelling from late medieval China. Want to see how the robes fold next to the bare cliff behind them? Tap *Buddha’s Conversion of Five Bhiksu*.
