EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait "Tseu-Hi, 1905" by Hubert Vos depicts the powerful and enigmatic Empress Dowager Cixi of China. Painted in oil on canvas, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures in late Qing dynasty China. Empress Dowager Cixi, also known as Tseu-Hi, was a member of the Manchu Yehe Nara clan and rose to prominence as a concubine before becoming regent. For an astonishing 47 years, from 1861 until her death in 1908, she effectively controlled the Chinese government. This portrait captures her seated on a throne adorned with traditional costume and clothes befitting her noble status. Vos skillfully portrays Empress Dowager Cixi's commanding presence through his use of color and attention to detail. The calligraphy and writing surrounding her add an element of elegance and sophistication to the composition. As viewers gaze upon this painting, they are transported back to the nineteenth century when China was undergoing significant political changes. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also provides insight into Chinese history and culture during that period. It is a testament to Empress Dowager Cixi's enduring legacy as well as Vos' artistic talent in capturing both beauty and power within his subjects. As we admire "Tseu-Hi, 1905" we are reminded of the lasting impact individuals can have on society while marveling at Vos' ability to bring history alive through his brushstrokes.
