任熊（1823—1857）清代晚期著名画家，“海派”艺术的代表人物之一。字谓长，一字湘浦，号不舍，浙江萧山人。他是绘画全才。人物、花卉、山水、翎毛、虫鱼、走兽，无一不精。画法宗陈洪绶，与弟任薰，儿子任预、侄任颐合称“海上四任”，又与朱熊、张熊合称“沪上三熊”。其父任椿，善画，在当地稍有名气。受其影响，任熊自幼喜爱绘画，童年时常画灯画。父卒，又从村塾师学画肖像。凡影描勾填之法，画男女老幼之容，无所不会。因不愿死板地恪守粉本，乃窃变其法，以期画出裹在衣冠里的人体解剖结构，于是弄得“朝服翎顶者秃其颅矣，端拱者跣一足矣”，因而引起老师的不满。任熊遂离师而赴各地卖画为生。

   任熊在杭州得到同乡陆冶山相助，结识了许多画友。此时他的肖像画已为人所重，然他对传统艺术的学习仍孜孜不倦，临摹了杭州孤山圣因寺贯休的十六罗汉石刻画像。浙西周闲喜爱任熊绘画，将他邀至范湖草堂，使他终日临抚古人名作，略不满意，则再临一遍，必达到与原作乱真或胜过原作乃已。兴致所到，经常通宵达旦，前后达8年之久，故其画艺日益精深。后又被宁波文人姚燮延请。姚家收藏甚富，使他得以饱赏宋元明清诸代名家的书画佳品。在此期间，他创作的《姚燮诗意图》120幅（故宫博物院藏）为生平杰作之一，设境之奇，运笔之妙，令人赞叹。

   任熊后来常往来于宁波、杭州、上海、苏州等地，靠卖画为生。1857年因病于家中去世，年仅35岁。去世那天，地方老百姓，皆叹息不已。他的遗作《高士传》绘图未完，仅得26幅，尚缺披衣、颜子两图，由蔡照初镌版后，任淇属扉页，由王锡龄出资刊行。杨韫华、韦光黻倾资助其丧。故后，未竟之作，由（沙）子春完成之，能尽师法。
