馮潤芝 (1852-1937)
名甘露，號 石厲石山樵。廣東番禺人。喜仿宋、元畫，所繪人物，堪稱一絕。晚年在香港喜與多位名畫家共聚一堂，如容祖椿、傅壽宜、陸鳳五等，互相交流畫藝。其子馮少芝深得其真傳。
馮潤芝(1852-1937)
馮潤芝，又名礪石，晚號禺山老人，番禺人，生於清咸豐元年辛亥(1852) 。毀齒時讀書鄉塾。絕警悟。性耽繪事，每以是廢讀，師戒之弗悛。所居近海，巒嵐村靄，樹色山光，實饒畫意。潤芝流連其間，或攜畫具，即景描寫，雖無師承，而暗符古人矩度。有所作，輒歸張諸壁，欣然自賞。其尊人經商越裳，歲暮旋里，見而異之，以為若才可培而就之，遂與俱至廣州，遊於某名畫師之門，力學不輟。十數年間，居然驚其老宿，一時名流騷士，交致稱許，寸縑尺楮，恆珍視之。時年而立耳。自是以畫生其生焉。後以清室顛覆，政綱頹弛。中山先生首倡革命，國內外志士咸所歸心，潤芝乃與潘達微、尹笛雲輩創辦時事畫報，指陳時弊，從事革命工作。然晚清之世，印刷之術未精，攝影學更屬鮮有能工者。潤芝既留心於改良印刷，而畫報附圖，苦無影片以證其所見聞之實，故必有恃於繪畫，以永其趣，畫又偏重於人物，而已寫實為尚，則又必取材於時世裝束矣。大抵虛擬娉婷，初無稿本可資模範，畫家咸引為苦事，當時個中能手，如何劍士、譚雲波、鄭磊泉等僅數人耳。潤芝畫私淑錢吉生慧安，所畫士女，出沈心海之右，以故畫報附圖，多出潤芝手筆。終日擬稿，往往深夜乃寢，歷數年不厭。洎清社既屋，民國肇基，有諷使從政者，不應，旋與朋輩合貲設廣州石印局於城西，並授徒課畫，及門者眾。至今以繪事名於時者，尚多潤芝法嗣也。後遊於濠江。於民國廿六年丁丑(1937)以老病卒，年八十有七。有子三人，長曰少芝，畫學深得家風，惜天年竟夭。次曰戒聞。三曰釋庵，幼耽禪悅，被薙釋門，亦工六法。戒聞則逃禪歸儒，還復俗姓。設金剛畫院於香江，近又移民加拿大矣，以畫而給朝夕。釋庵則雲遊不知所終云。
