Wang Meng (1308-1385) was a painter during the Yuan dynasty and one of the Four Great Masters of this period. He was the youngest of the group, and the least famous in his own time. Nevertheless, his style influenced later Chinese painting. In contrast to the relatively spare style of his compatriots, his ropy brushstrokes piled one on the other to produce masses of texture combined in dense and involved patterns. Wang Meng was wrongly accused of conspiring against the Ming Emperor Taizu and spent the last five years of his life in jail.
