EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating depiction of Chinese deities divided into three distinct classes. On the left, we see Lao-Tseu (or Laozi), an important figure in Taoism, dressed in traditional attire. In the middle stands P'an Ku (or Fo-Ni), representing creation and growth, also adorned in intricate garments. Finally, on the right side of the image is Confucius, one of China's most influential philosophers and teachers. The artwork originates from "The old and modern costume" by Giulio Ferrario, published in Milan between 1819-1820. The engraving beautifully captures these revered figures from Chinese culture with remarkable attention to detail. Each deity represents different aspects of Chinese religious beliefs and philosophies. Lao-Tseu symbolizes Taoism's principles of harmony with nature and spiritual enlightenment. P'an Ku embodies creation myths and cosmic forces shaping the universe. Meanwhile, Confucius represents moral values, ethics, education, and social order. Leonard de Selva skillfully preserves this historical artwork through his photography while respecting its cultural significance. This mesmerizing print offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Chinese spirituality and philosophy that continues to influence millions today.
