Fan Kuan (fl.

990–1020) is a Chinese landscape painter of the Song Dynasty (960–1279) considered among the great masters of the tenth and eleventh centuries.

Almost no biographical details survive about him.

He models his early work after that of the artist Li Cheng (919–967), but later he concludes that nature is the only true teacher.

He spends the rest of his life as a recluse in the rugged Qiantang mountains of Shanxi.
