"海阳四家"之名始见于清朝康熙年间张庚的《国朝画征录》一书，张庚的这一提法，突出了新安画家群体里四位主要成员的籍贯和共同的风格趋向，使四家合称之名不胫而传。张庚立论确立以后，有人曾提出"海阳"为"黄海之南"的诠释，用来统一弘仁籍贯歙县与休宁县之间的矛盾。"海阳四家"同为遗民画家，弘仁风格萧疏澹逸，孤迥清寂;汪之瑞渴笔焦墨，苍郁悠远;孙逸简淡韵浓，涤尽俗尘;查士标风神懒散，气韵荒寒。各以"郊、岛之姿，行寒瘦之意"，体现出超尘拔俗和苍凉孤傲的品格

 孙逸

明末清初画家，字无逸，号疏林，亦号石禅,海阳(今安徽休宁)人，一作徽州(今安徽歙县)人，流寓芜湖，生卒年不详。工山水，取材于家乡之秀丽景色，特别是对黄山云海松石之幻变无不吞吐于胸中，所作既师古人又师自然。受倪瓒、黄公望影响最深，笔墨闲雅，骨格松秀，淡而神旺，简而意足，人以为"文徵明后身"。尝为歙令靳某画《歙山二十四图》。亦工花卉。与弘仁、查士标、汪之瑞等时相过从，与萧云从齐名，合称孙萧。
