EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the intricate ink and color painting by Tang Yin. Measuring 109x40.5 cm, this artwork depicts Ge Changgeng, the fifth patriarch of the Southern Sect of Chan Buddhism, seated gracefully on a mystical creature known as the Three-legged Toad. Ge Changgeng was not only revered for his wisdom but also renowned as a skilled calligrapher. In this portrait, he is associated with Liu Hai, one of the Immortals in Chinese mythology. The presence of the toad holds symbolic significance as it was believed to exist solely on the moon and represents something unattainable. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing Ge Changgeng's serene expression and elegant posture. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient masterpiece while preserving its traditional essence. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Chinese culture and spirituality through its portrayal of Taoism and Buddhist symbolism. Additionally, it highlights Bai Yushan's talent for drawing and mastery over composition. As an image from Bridgeman Images' collection, "The Immortal Ge Changgeng sitting on his Three-legged Toad" serves as a gateway into exploring Eastern philosophy and artistry—a visual representation that transcends time and invites contemplation about our own aspirations for enlightenment or unattainable desires.
