A painting tradition established in the traveling courts of the great Tibetan Karmapas, most of what we know of the Encampment Style belongs to its eighteenth-century revival by the great scholar-painter Situ Panchen Chokyi Jungne (1700-1774). A combination of Indo-Nepali and Chinese artistic elements, the Encampment style was fostered under the tutelage and support of Situ, who acted as both artist and patron.
