xia gui -lrb- ; fl .
1195 -- 1224 -rrb- , courtesy name yuyu -lrb- 禹玉 -rrb- , was a chinese landscape painter of the song dynasty .
very little is known about his life , and only a few of his works survive , but he is generally considered one of china 's greatest artists .
he continued the tradition of li tang , further simplifying the earlier song style to achieve a more immediate , striking effect .
together with ma yuan , he founded the so-called ma-xia -lrb- 馬夏 -rrb- school , one of the most important of the period .
although xia was popular during his lifetime , his reputation suffered after his death , together with that of all southern song academy painters .
nevertheless , a few artists , including the japanese master sesshū , continued xia 's tradition for hundreds of years , until the early 17th century .
