								He is the son of poor farmers. He began to study painting in the village school but left to travel.<br />
								In 1846 he went to Hangzhou where he met Zhou Xian with whom he studied for three years. During<br />
								the Taiping Rebellion, he and many other painters and scholars made their way to Shanghai, an island of<br />
								safety protected by the westerners living there. This migration stimulated an already active<br />
								intellectual society. The paintings became known as the &quot;Shanghai School.&quot; By chance, there were<br />
								four outstanding painters in Shanghai at the time with the surname Ren, they're called the &quot;Four Rens.&quot;<br />
								Ren Xiong was the foremost of the four. He was strongly influenced by Chen Hangshou and painted<br />
								a wide variety of subjects, including figures, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and other animals.<br />
								The scroll was painted in 1852 during the Qing Dynasty.<br />
