Qu Ding (c. 1023 – c. 1056) was a Chinese painter of the Song dynasty who specialized in landscape. According to the sources, he learned painting from Yan Wengui, a master artist of his period. His known work centers on mountains and rivers rendered as sweeping panoramic views.
Only one of his paintings is thought to have survived, Summer Mountains, now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The work bears the seal of Emperor Huizong of Song, a noted patron of the arts who was also a painter. This probably suggests that Qu Ding worked as a court painter under Huizong, although this is not conclusively documented.
His importance lies mainly in the fact that his surviving work offers a window onto Song landscape painting and on the relationship between artists and the imperial court of the period.
