The southern song of a reel?

Q. A Southern Song depiction shows the earliest use of a reel being used to catch a fish. Who was the artist and when was this art made?


Please do not post a link and the one with the most details wins.


Answer
the earliest evidence of the fishing reel comes from a 4th century AD work entitled "Lives of Famous Immortals".

The earliest known depiction of a fishing reel comes from a Southern Song Dynasty(1127–1279) painting done in 1195 by Ma Yuan (c. 1160–1225) called "Angler on a Wintry Lake," showing a man sitting on a small sampan boat(a relatively flat bottomed Chinese wooden boat from 3.5 to 4.5 m 11.5 to 14.8 ft long) while casting out his fishing line. Ma Yuan is remembered as being the first to depict a fishing reel in artwork in his painting Angler on a Wintry Lake.

Ma Yuan was born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang) into a family of painters. His great grandfather Ma Fen served as painter in attendance at the Northern Song court in early 12th century, and both his grandfather Ma Xingzu and his father Ma Shirong held the same position at the Southern Song court in Hangzhou. At some point after 1189, Ma Yuan received the same position under Emperor Guangzong. He evidently enjoyed a high reputation at the court and was a favorite of Emperor Ningzong (who wrote several poems inspired by Ma Yuan's paintings) Although a very versatile painter, Ma is known today primarily for his landscape scrolls. A characteristic feature of many paintings is the so-called "one-corner" composition, in which the actual subjects of the painting are pushed to a corner or a side, leaving the other part of the painting more or less empty.

Another fishing reel was featured in a painting by Wu Zhen (1280–1354).

The book Tianzhu lingqian (Holy Lections from Indian Sources), printed sometime between 1208 and 1224, features two different woodblock print illustrations of fishing reels being used. An Armenian parchment Gospel of the 13th century shows a reel (though not as clearly depicted as the Chinese ones). The Sancai Tuhui, a Chinese encyclopedia published in 1609, features the next known picture of a fishing reel and vividly shows the windlass pulley of the device. These five pictures mentioned are the only ones which feature fishing reels before the year 1651 (when the first English illustration was made); after that year they became commonly depicted in world art.
