"Lotus" by Shitao, also known as Daoji (1642–1707), is a renowned Chinese painting created by one of the most famous individualist painters of the early Qing dynasty. Shitao, a monk and artist, was known for his innovative approach to painting, blending poetry, calligraphy, and painting into a unified expression of personal vision that broke away from the rigid orthodoxies of his time. His work "Lotus" exemplifies this unique style, showcasing his fluid brushwork and mastery of ink wash.

The painting is a depiction of the lotus flower, which holds significant symbolic meaning in Chinese culture and Buddhism, representing purity and enlightenment as it emerges unsoiled from murky waters. Shitao's interpretation of the lotus is reflective of his philosophical beliefs and his pursuit of a personal, expressive style that sought to capture the essence of his subjects through spontaneous and dynamic brushstrokes.

"Lotus" by Shitao is not only a representation of the natural beauty of the flower but also an embodiment of the artist's spiritual and artistic journey. The painting is characterized by its loose and expressive technique, with an emphasis on the play of light and shadow, and the use of negative space to suggest the ethereal nature of the lotus. Shitao's work often includes poetic inscriptions, and it is likely that "Lotus" also features his calligraphy, further intertwining the visual and literary arts.

As a significant piece within Shitao's oeuvre, "Lotus" is a testament to the artist's legacy as a pivotal figure in the evolution of Chinese painting. His influence extended beyond his lifetime, inspiring later artists to explore more personal and expressive approaches to painting. Today, "Lotus" by Shitao is celebrated for its artistic beauty and philosophical depth, and it continues to be studied and admired as a masterpiece of Chinese art.
