晚明时期，徽州绘画的繁荣，与艺术赞助关系密切。丁云鹏是晚明时期徽州的代表性画家，通过对其绘画生涯的耙梳，可以发现，虽然画家接受赞助的方式仍比较隐晦，但艺术赞助广泛存在，获得赞助的途径也是多样的。徽州画家立足本邑，面向整个江南地区，在获得本邑的赞助外，通过在外徽州精英群体的帮助，顺利地融入了江南士绅名流的文化圈。来自本邑和江南的赞助对徽州绘画的影响都很重要，因此，今天看到的丁云鹏的绘画，既反映出徽州特色的刻书（画）业、制墨业的影响，又反映出晚明的时代思潮和风尚，积极呼应了江南文化圈内各阶层精英的审美需求。

In the late Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of Huizhou painting was closely related to arts patronage. Ding Yunpeng was a representative painter in Huizhou in the late Ming Dynasty. Through a study on his painting career, we can find that although the way of patronage reception was still obscure, arts patronage existed widely and there were various ways to get patronage. Based on their own city and facing the entire Jiangnan region, Huizhou painters successfully integrated into the cultural circle of distinguished personages in Jiangnan with the help of Huizhou elite groups in other areas. Patronage from the local city and Jiangnan had very important influence on Huizhou painting. Therefore, the paintings of Ding Yunpeng that we see today not only reflect the influence of Huizhou characteristic engraving (painting) industry and ink production industry, but also reflect the trend of thought and fashion of the times in the late Ming Dynasty, and actively respond to the aesthetic needs of elites of all classes in Jiangnan cultural circle.
