程瑤笙(1869—1936),名璋,字德璋,號瑤笙。原籍安徽新安,后寓上海。初入典當為學徒,后從湯潤之學畫。早年宗沒骨法工筆花卉,中年后改變技法,參用西畫明暗透視法,講究陰陽向背,所作形象真實生動。重寫生,又不失傳統筆墨韻味,色彩秾麗,構圖別致,自創新貌,可謂開一代繪畫風氣之先。擅山水、人物,特別是花鳥、走獸畫得尤為精致,他畫的猿猴形態各異,非常準確生動,在近現代畫家中可以說無幾人能及,可惜因名氣不大,幾乎被歷史湮滅,他的藝術成就未能得后人很好的挖掘與整理。傳世作品有《貓》(藏故宮博物院),《鄉景圖》(藏上海博物館)等。1936年墨緣堂出版《程瑤笙畫冊》影印本,1941年商務印書館出版《程瑤笙先生遺作精品集》二冊。
