Gong Kai

Gong Kai (1222–1307), courtesy name Shengyu, was a Chinese painter, poet and official born in Huaiyin in present-day Jiangsu, who lived through the last years of the Southern Song. After the fall of the Song to the Yuan he worked as a scholar-amateur painter, and most paintings attributed to him, such as the Emaciated Horse in the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts, date from the Yuan period.
