Ma Yüan (born c. 1160/65, Qiantang now Hangzhou, Zhejiang province; died 1225) was an influential Chinese landscape painter whose work, together with that of Xia Gui, formed the basis of the Ma-Xia school of painting. Ma occasionally painted flowers, but is best known for landscape painting, his lyrical and romantic interpretation becoming the model for later painters. He was a master of “one-corner” composition, to the extent that he was nicknamed "One-Corner Ma." Ma Yuan was one of the Ma family of painters.
