陆治字叔平，别号包山子，弘治九年（1496）生于苏州包山梅梁里。陆家世代耕读，陆治从小在书香环境中成长，迁居苏州郡城之后，又因父亲与文徵明交谊深厚，于是从学于文徵明门下。早年陆治以品学兼优，先后被乡里推荐为「诸生」、「贡士」。陆治也有意参加科考担任公职，然而屡次考试，都未能中选，于是转而选择书画、园艺生涯，在艺术领域中展开另一片天地。陆治天资、学力兼具，五十岁左右隐居支硎山之后，读书作画，用功更勤，对大自然的观察和体验也逐渐深刻。从目前传世《陆包山遗稿》来看，陆治诗文多见纪游山水和咏赞植物花卉之作，淡泊宁静的生活也反映在画作裡，透出清逸脱俗的气质。陆治晚年生活清苦，甘于隐居生活，直到万曆四年（1576）去世，没有放下画笔。
       陆治的老师文徵明，学问好品德更好，陆治跟着学习作诗、写字、画画，两人像朋友一样融洽。在老师的鼓励下，陆治越画越好，把老师的方法都学会了。文徵明高兴自己文人画风有了传人，又进一步指导陆治去学习宋朝人和元朝人的笔法。陆治很用功，老师没教之前，已经对元朝画家王蒙和倪瓒的笔法下过功夫，所以老师一教就画得很顺手。陆治画这幅山水时刚好四十岁，他把倪瓒的笔法画出来了，连构图的方法也是倪瓒常用的形式。倪瓒喜欢画一条河两岸的景緻，陆治也採取了类似的佈局。画中几间小屋子可能就是画文徵明的住所──玉磬山房，虽然画中房子简化了许多，陆治画来还是很有味，因为这裡也是陆治学习成长的地方，在陆治学画歷程中，能得到一位好老师指点，真是幸运。
       陆治不仅长于画山水画，也能画花鸟，目前传世作品中花鸟画约有四十幅左右，工笔、写意两种风格都有。在陆治长年隐居生活中，园艺操作也是生活的一部分。依据陆治好友王世贞的记载，陆治热衷园艺，尤其喜欢种菊花，在支硎山居园子裡有成百上千的花木。经过长期对植物生态的观察，陆治可以精确地掌握到花叶、枝干的形态，用熟练的笔法、鲜嫩的色调，在纸绢上传达无限生意。这卷工笔花卉画在绢上，笔法和设色都具有宋朝人的韵度，将花朵盛开、半开、含苞的景象以及俯仰向背的姿态，都画出来了，是陆治六十五岁山居生活观察入微之作。所画依序为杏花、蕙兰、剪秋萝、牡丹、梨花、贴梗海棠、百合花、紫薇、蔷薇、栀子花、秋海棠、牵牛花、秋葵、山茶、绿萼梅、水仙、共计十六种。
