## About Tang Yin

Tang Yin (1470–1524) was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, and poet active during the Ming dynasty. He is also identified by the courtesy names Bohu and Ziwei, while collected references record Tang Bohu and the brush names Liuru Jushi and Taohua Anzhu. Sources associate him with the Wu school and place him among the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty alongside Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying. His recorded artistic range includes landscapes, figure and genre subjects, flowers, drawing, and calligraphy, reflecting the breadth of Ming literati practice. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with paintings, works on paper, and calligraphic material. Because several historical name forms are associated with him, careful entity matching is essential when organizing museum references and auction records. The available sources establish Tang Yin's historical identity and broad artistic context, but they do not resolve the attribution or authenticity of any individual object.

## Common works and media

Tang Yin is associated with Chinese painting, drawing, and calligraphy. Reference summaries identify landscapes, figures and genre scenes, and flowers among his subjects. In auction or appraisal settings, these categories should remain distinct: a landscape painting is not directly comparable to a calligraphic work or figure drawing solely because the same artist name appears in the catalogue. Materials, format, dimensions, inscriptions, seals, dating, and catalogued attribution require object-level examination.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first establish what kind of object is being assessed, since painting, drawing, calligraphy, landscape, figure, and flower categories all appear in the collected references. Catalogued name form also matters because Tang Yin is represented by multiple courtesy and brush names. The source pack includes an Appraisily auction-record page but no accessible major-auction-house lot analysis, so it does not support a price forecast or market-direction claim. When public records are available, comparisons should match the work type, subject, dimensions, materials, catalogued attribution, sale date, and auction-house description. Provenance, condition, dating, and attribution must be established from evidence specific to the object rather than inferred from this artist profile.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. This profile's biographical foundation is stronger than its object-level market evidence, so individual works require separate appraisal research.
