Shen Zhou (, 1427–1509),
courtesy names
Qinan () and
Shitian (), was a
Chinese painter in the
Ming dynasty. He lived during the post-transition period of the Yuan conquest of the Ming. His family worked closely with the government and maintained its wealthy status. Shen later retired and lived a reclusive life, spending most of his time painting and taking care of his widowed mother.
He was a contributor to the more individualist
Wu School of Chinese art. Besides painting, he was also accomplished in history and the classics.
