Penglai, one of the mythical islands. Hanging scroll by Yuan Yao

Yuan Yao (Yüan Yao, traditional: 袁耀, simplified: 袁耀); was a Chinese landscape painter during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912). Yuan was born in Yangzhou in the Jiangsu province.[1] His courtesy name was Zhaodao, and he took the art name Niyuzhe. His specific years of birth and death are unknown.

Yuan primarily painted landscapes and was a student of his uncle Yuan Jiang. Yuan was, along with Yuan Jiang, Li Yin, Yan Yi, and Wang Yun, a notable practitioner of “boundary painting” (jiehua) techniques, associated with realist gongbi practices. These painters were all based in Yangzhou.[2]
