趙之謙（1829—1844），浙江紹興人。初字益甫，號冷君；後改字撝叔，號鐵三、憨寮、又號悲庵、無悶、梅庵等。所居曰“二金蝶堂”、“苦兼室”，官至江西鄱陽、奉新知縣，工詩文，擅書法，初學顏真卿，篆隸法鄧石如，後自成一格，奇倔雄強，別出時俗。善繪畫，花卉學石濤而有所變化，為清末寫意花卉之開山。篆刻初學浙派，繼法秦漢璽印，复參宋、元及皖派，博取秦詔、漢鏡、泉幣、漢銘文和碑版文字等入印，一掃舊習，所作蒼秀雄渾。青年時代即以才華橫溢而名滿海內。他在書法方面的造詣是多方面的，可使真、草、隸、篆的筆法融為一體，相互補充，相映成趣。趙之謙曾說過：“獨立者貴，天地極大，多人說總盡，獨立難索難求”。他一生在詩、書、畫、意上進行了不懈的努力，終於成為一代大師。

Zhao Zhiqian (1829–1894) was a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. His original courtesy name was Yifu, and his art name was Lengjun; later, he changed his courtesy name to Huishu, and also used the art names Tiesan, Hanliao, Beian, Wumen, and Meian. His residences were called “Er Jin Die Tang” and “Ku Jian Shi.” He served as county magistrate of Poyang and Fengxin in Jiangxi Province.

Zhao was skilled in poetry and prose, and excelled in calligraphy. He initially studied the style of Yan Zhenqing, with his seal and clerical scripts influenced by Deng Shiru. Later, he developed his own unique style, which was strong, bold, and distinct from the common trends of his time. He was also an accomplished painter, especially of flowers, drawing inspiration from Shi Tao but adding his own variations, becoming a pioneer of late Qing expressive flower painting.

In seal carving, he initially learned the Zhejiang school style, later following the seals of the Qin and Han dynasties, and also incorporated influences from Song, Yuan, and Anhui schools. He absorbed inscriptions from Qin steles, Han mirrors, coinage, and epitaphs into his seals, breaking old conventions and producing work that was both vigorous and elegant.

Zhao Zhiqian gained national fame in his youth for his extraordinary talent. His mastery of calligraphy was comprehensive, blending brush techniques from regular, cursive, clerical, and seal scripts into an integrated and complementary style.

He once said, “Independence is precious; the world is vast, many opinions abound, but independence is hard to seek and difficult to attain.”

Throughout his life, Zhao Zhiqian dedicated himself tirelessly to poetry, calligraphy, painting, and artistic expression, ultimately becoming a master of his generation.
